What would happen if inertia disappeared?
So if there is no inertia then the body will be continously in motion and if it is in rest then it will stay in rest . If there is no inertia then there will be no mass. Infinite accerlation is possible .
What happens to inertia on the moon?
Newton concluded that two factors—inertia and gravity—combine to keep Earth in orbit around the sun and the moon in orbit around Earth. Earth’s gravity keeps pulling the moon toward it, preventing the moon from moving in a straight line. At the same time, the moon keeps moving ahead because of its inertia.
What would happen to the motion of the moon if the Earth were to disappear?
If the earth suddenly disappeared… POOF!!!!!, the moon would continue in its orbit around the Sun although the wobble in the orbit would disappear. The moon and the earth are actually exchanged energy via the tides. These tides are caused in part by the moon.
What happens to earth if there was no gravity from the sun?
Just like objects and people, Earth is also attracted by the sun’s gravity. If Earth’s gravity became zero, nothing would hold it and chances are that its inner core would eventually burst in a lethal titanic explosion due to intense pressure. Earth would break into pieces that would float around space, wreaking havoc.
Does the moon have less inertia than the Earth?
The Moon has a smaller mass than the Earth. It has smaller gravitational field strength . The smaller mass of the Moon will not attract a 1 kg mass with as much force as on Earth.
Does your inertia change on the moon?
Your Mass. Your body mass — the amount of matter it takes to make you — doesn’t change regardless of whether you are standing on the moon, the Earth, or weightless in the space capsule taking you from the Earth to the moon.
What would happen to Earth and the Moon if the force of inertia was suddenly removed?
The Moon orbits the Earth because its inertia balances the Earth’s gravity. Since in your hypothetical question you have not removed gravity, the Moon would fall onto the Earth, wiping out all life in the process. And Earth’s inertia has gone away too, so it’s falling into the Sun, taking the joined Moon with it.
What would happen to the Earth if the moon disappeared?
Since in your hypothetical question you have not removed gravity, the Moon would fall onto the Earth, wiping out all life in the process. And Earth’s inertia has gone away too, so it’s falling into the Sun, taking the joined Moon with it.
What would happen to the Moon if there was no inertia?
Inertia would make the moon travel in a tangential line to its orbit, had gravity suddenly disappeared. So if there was no inertia, there would be two scenarios: Case 1: Where there would be something else replacing inertia, which would decide what would happen in the above said situations… and it would lead to a different set of laws of motion.
How do inertia and gravity affect the Earth’s tides?
Gravity and inertia act in opposition on the Earth’s oceans, creating tidal bulges on opposite sites of the planet. On the “near” side of the Earth (the side facing the moon), the gravitational force of the moon pulls the ocean’s waters toward it, creating one bulge. On the far side of the Earth, inertia dominates, creating a second bulge.
What causes the water on Earth to move towards the Moon?
This attraction causes the water on this “near side” of Earth to be pulled toward the moon. As gravitational force acts to draw the water closer to the moon, inertia attempts to keep the water in place.
