Verrrrry interesting !
If the moon were replaced by something with a vastly greater mass
but at the same distance, then ...

-- The period of its revolution around the Earth would be much shorter.
That is, it would orbit the Earth in much less than 27.3 days.  We might
see it go through a complete set of phases in 2 weeks, or even 1 week.

-- The ocean tides would be much greater.  Low tides would be
much lower, and high tides would be much higher.

-- Sadly, the land tides, and the forces on the Earth's internal structure,
would also be much greater.  That means great increases in earthquake
and volcanic activity.

-- The Earth and moon both revolve around their common center of
mass. Under the current arrangement ... with the Earth having 80 times
the mass of the Moon ... that point is inside the Earth, and it looks a lot
like the Moon is orbiting a stationary Earth.
When the new body arrives to replace the lightweight Moon, that point
will be a lot closer to the new companion ... maybe even inside it. 
Then, it will look a lot like the monster is the stationary one, and the
Earth is orbiting it.
I actually don't believe that we would SEE that change, or feel it.

andrew-mc [135]
In fresh water sound waves travel at 1497m/s at 25 degrees, I'll assume that's the characteristics of the water.

If it's 0.01s then you need to divide the speed by 100 to get the, 14.97, however it gets there and back in that time so you need to halve it.

How can water boil without heat?​
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Put water at room temperature into a vacuum chamber and begin removing the air. Eventually, the boiling temperature will fall below the water temperature and boiling will begin without heating. Or if you want to be easy but messy, add dry ice to a bowl of water and watch how the water starts to boil.

A box exerts 10,000 Pa of pressure on the ground. If the box weighs 1000 N, how much area is in contact with the ground?
lara [203]

Pressure = (total force) / (Area)

10,000 Pa = (1,000 N) / (Area)

Multiply each side by (Area) :

(10,000 Pa) x (Area) = 1,000 N

Divide each side by (10,000 Pa) :

Area = (1,000 N) / (10,000 Pa)

<em>Area = 0.1 m² </em>
