The energy needed to move the Moon

[Shadowbokunohero]

So I have this OC who happens to be a Panda, his capable of Moving a Moon up to a 1000 meters.. i wanted to know how much energy would be needed to do this?

Best case scenario?

• 0.5*7.342e+22*1000^2 = 3.671e+28j or 8.77 exatons (Multi Continent level)

Woah thanks Kep OvO

How fast the moon has been moved? How much time does it took to accelerate the moon to some speed?

You didn't really give a speed, but assuming it moves the moves at the speed of orbit, we get 3.8451940896737E+28 joules, High 6-A

If you can't answer to my questions, then I'll use my Hollywood method.

Let's assume that the moon has reached the speed of 1000 m/s. Usually moving the moon will be cool and slow... And dramatic? Will use the time of 4 seconds. That gives us the acceleration of 250 m/s^2. So, 7.342e+22 kg*250 m/s^2*1000 m = 1.8355*10^28 joules.

You don't use acceleration in a KE formula, you use velocity

You don't use acceleration in a KE formula, you use velocity

I'm using the formula E = Fl, where E is energy in joules, F is force in Newtons and l is length in meters. F = ma where F is force in Newtons, m is mass in kilograms and a is acceleration in meters per second squared aka m/s^2.

What? Don't be afraid
