What would happen if the gravitational force between the Earth and the moon suddenly disappeared?

Without the moon’s gravity holding the Earth in place, the tilt of our home planet’s axis would probably shift drastically over time. Earth could go from no tilt with virtually no seasons, to a drastic tilt with extreme seasonal weather changes and ice ages in just a few hundred thousand years, Siegler adds.

What type of motion the moon would go in if gravitational force is removed?

straight line
It will move in a straight line rather that revolving around the earth.

What would happen to the motion of the moon if the tangential velocity of the moon is stopped?

The gravitational pull of the Earth draws the moon closer to it, hence it falls in an orbit around the earth, rather than directly into it. What would happen if the tangential speed of the moon was instead zero? It would be stationary with respect to the Earth.

What happens to the moon if the gravitational pull decreases?

The Moon would pull less strongly at the Earth, and the Earth and Moon would revolve around each other more slowly. This reduces the tides on Earth, which means the sea levels won’t rise and fall as much as they do now.

What would be the path of the Moon if all the gravitational forces on the Moon vanishes to zero?

What would be the path of the Moon if somehow all gravitational forces on it vanished to zero? The Moon would move in a straight-line path instead of circling both the sun and earth. The force of gravity is the same on each because the masses are the same, as Newton’s equation for gravitational force verifies.

What is the gravitational force between the earth and the moon?

Between the earth and moon it is essentially zero.

What would be the path of the moon if all the gravitational forces on the moon vanishes to zero?

Why is the moon falling towards the earth?

The Moon, Earth’s natural satellite, seems to hover in the sky, unaffected by gravity. However, the reason the Moon stays in orbit is precisely because of gravity — a universal force that attracts objects.

What is the gravitational pull between Earth and moon?

Earth’s average surface gravity is about 9.8 meters per second per second. When an object is tossed off a building top or a cliff apex, for instance, it accelerates toward the ground at 9.8 meters per second per second. The Moon’s surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

How does the moon affect the Earth’s gravity?

As the Moon orbits the Earth, it drags along behind it a “bulge” in the oceans. On the side of Earth opposite the Moon, the gravitational pull is less than on any other part of the Earth and the oceans are “left behind” in another bulge. The Moon’s contribution to Earth’s tides is significant because it is so close.
