I was wondering, if the moon losses its mass at a constant rate and the Earth gains mass at this constant rate (so the sum of there masses is equal), the force between them would stay the same would it not?
F = GMm/d²
What happens to the moon?
Does the moon move away, stay the same or come closer to the earth. Also would the effect of the moon losing mass mean that the tides of the sea seize to exist?Thanks :)
