Question

An apple falls from a tree because of the
gravitational attraction between the earth
and the apple. If F1 is the magnitude of the
force exerted by the earth on the apple and
F2 is the magnitude of the force exerted by
the apple on the earth, then
a) f1 is much greater than f2
b) f2 is much greater than f2
c) f1 and f2 are equal
d) f1 is only a little greater than f2​

Answer 1

Answer:

a f1 is much greater than f2

mark me as brilliant

Answer 2

Answer:

F1 is much greater than F2 because attraction force is directly propotional to Mass,

Since the mass of earth is much greater

than the mass of apple , therefore F1 is greater than F2

Formula for gravitational force is

:--

GM

-----------

r^2

Where, G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the object or planet and r is distance between the objects
