SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Hi, the question we are answering now is an object is placed exactly halfway between the Earth and moon. The object will fall toward the a moon be Earthsea. Neither of these, since we know that gravitational force depends on MArs and the distance between two objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the halfway point Earth’s gravity would still exert a significantly stronger influence than the moon’s gravity would. The object would have to be placed much closer to the Moon before it would go that way.

Detailed explanation-3: -But if the moon were half the distance from Earth as it is now, the tides would be eight times higher, Comins told Live Science. Some islands would be completely underwater for much of the day, and populated coastlines would likely become uninhabitable because of the high tides, he added.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the acceleration of gravity halfway between the Earth and the Moon is 0.011 m/s2 0.011 m / s 2 .

Detailed explanation-5: -The less massive the object is, the more the force of air resistance slows the object down as it falls. If two objects were dropped on the moon, where there is no air, they would fall at the same rate no matter how much they differ in mass.

Detailed explanation-6: -Now, moving the Moon closer to the Earth will increase the gravitational exertion of the satellite onto our planet. If the satellite were slightly closer, the tidal bulge would grow. Low tides would be lower and high tides would be higher and any low lying coastline would be flooded.
