Could you show me more precisely how i could do that? What kind of equations would i use etc? Thanks!

Is there anyway to calculate with what force the moon would hit Earth and/or how long it would take? Or would such calculations be too complicated..? Is there in that case any simpler way to estimate the force and time?

Okey! But if the moon fell shouldn't the moon's force of gravity have an impact on Earth as well, so that they both were attracted towards each other and the Earth would "move"?

No probably not...i mean it's almost impossible to even run that fast.. But aren't there any equations i can use to prove it??

Is it impossible for me to to set a swing (on which a child weighing 66 pound is sitting) going, so that its velocity from the very beginning is 33 ft/s? Why/Why not? I find myself quite lost with this question so I have no attempts at any solutions...all i know is that it sounds impossible...

Thank you! But since it gains speed as it falls closer to Earth wouldn't it again go into a stable orbit? Or doesn't it work that way?:S

I know this is impossible, but theoretically speaking what would happen if the moon was stopped, so that it stopped orbiting the Earth and "stood still"? Would it hit Earth or what impact would it have on earth?
