The moon does not fall to earth because: The moon is beyond the main pull of Earth's gravity. The moon is pulled by the sun and planets as well as by Earth. The gravitational force provides the required centripetal force for the moon to have its tangential speed around the Earth. The net force on the moon is zero. The moon is in earth's gravitational field. Question 3 (4 points) The tallest mountain in our solar system is Mt. Caloris...
Since Moon is attracted to Earth, why doesn't it fall onto Earth? because it has large tangential velocity because there is another equal force on the Moon that balances gravity because centrifugal force balances gravity because centrifugal force more than balances gravity because it has too much inertia to fall towards Earth A. Ocean tides occur mainly because water always runs to the low spot water always runs to the side of the Earth away from the Moon B. water...
Moon Fact Questions A. Why is the Earth-Moon system spinning? B. How does the Moon stabilize the motion of the Earth? C. In what way is the spin rate of the Earth changing? D. Why is the spin rate of the Earth changing? E. Why and in what way is the orbital velocity of the Moon changing? F. What will be the result on Earth of the change in the Moons orbital velocity?
Why doesn't the Moon crash into the Earth? a. The Earth's magnetic field prevents the moon from falling. b. The Moon is beyond the pull of the Earth's gravity. c. The Moon is moving so fast that it falls around the Earth instead. d. The Earth's gravity is too weak to pull anything as big as the Moon.
The Moon and the Earth both orbit the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system.Earth is 81 times more massive than the Moon. Assume that the distance between the center of the Earth and the Moon is 384,400.0 km. Determine the distance of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system from the center of the Earth. Does it lie inside or outside the Earth with the radius of 6,371.0 km?

+3 points SerCP10 13.P.037 A pendulum clock that works perfectly on Earth is taken to the Moon. Assume that the free-fall acceleration on the Moon is 1.63 m/s (a) Does it run fast or slow there? O fast O slow Neither, it runs the same as on Earth. (b) If the clock is started at 12:00 midnight, what will it read after 15.5 h (Enter the time to the nearest minute.)

Mars does not have a large moon like the Earth does. Thinking back to the documentary you watched (“If We Had No Moon”), what do you think the lack of a large Moon will mean in terms of the stability of Mars’s climate in the future?
On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 1/6 that of on Earth. If an object is dropped from a height of 3.5 m on the moon, determine the time it takes the object to fall to the surface of the moon.
A spacecraft has position coordinates x Earth-Moon frame, and speed v- 7.2 km/s. 3. 6500 km, y 4700 km relative to the rotating a. Find the value of the Jacobi constant for the spacecraft. b. Does the spacecraft have enou gh energy to escape the Earth-Moon system?
