Question
question 10 1 pts suppose the moon had twice as much mass as it now does and still orbited the earth at the same distance. in that case, the ocean bulges on earth would be not significantly different. larger. unequal in size. none of these smaller. all places on the earth would have high tides at the same instant if the sun did not revolve. moon did not rotate. none of the above choices are correct. moon did not revolve. sun did not rotate.
The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the mass of the objects. If the moon had twice as much mass and still orbited at the same distance, its gravitational pull on Earth's oceans would be stronger, resulting in larger ocean - bulges (tides).
