the ball would follow oscillatory motion %26amp; slowly come to a stop at the center.If u were to drill a tunnel through the moon and dropped a ball into it would it stay in the center?
The ball would fall towards the center but it would continue towards the other side and to pretty much the same level where you dropped it. With no wind resistance at all, it might continue this way for a VERY long time slowly losing momentum until it came to rest at the center. BUT as it fell it would eventually be moving sideways faster than the walls around it and would bang against the walls, this would cause it to lose a lot of momentum and perhaps stop almost at the center on the first pass.If u were to drill a tunnel through the moon and dropped a ball into it would it stay in the center?
No. The net force of gravity inside of a spherical unifrm object is actually the same as for a harmonic oscillator. So the ball would fall through the moon to the other side, stop and go back to the other side. The fastest speed would be at the center.
yes, it would dur to the gragvitational pull that the moon has.
