The gravitational force between earth and moon will increase.
by F = GMm/r^2
F is inversely proportional to r^2
when r decrease, F will increase.

<span>The moon would appear much larger in the sky. the moon directly affects the ocean tides. If it were much closer, the ocean would rise and flood coastal areas. If the moon were much farther away from Earth, then the ocean tides would quit and the oceans would stagnate, killing all plant and marine life.

Which of acceleration, age, speed, temperature, and velocity are vector quantities?.

ollegr [7]

Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities whereas speed, temperature and age are not.

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction and is represented by an arrow whose direction is same as that of the quantity and length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.

Vector has magnitude and direction but it does not have position. Velocity and acceleration both are vector quantities as they have magnitude and direction.

If the speed of an object remains same but direction changes then the object is accelerating. It is important to remember that acceleration and velocity aren't always in the same direction.
