Question

Do you know the acceleration of the moon depends upon:
A) Gravitational force exerted on the moon by the Sun
B) Gravitational force exerted on the moon by the Planets
C) Gravitational force exerted on the moon by the Earth
D) Gravitational force exerted on the Earth by the Moon.

Answer 1

Answer is d I think so but you confirm it

Thanq

Answer 2

• The acceleration due to gravity is calculated by the gravitational force exerted between the bodies.
• The acceleration due to gravity on the moon the one-sixth of the total acceleration on the earth.
• Hence, the acceleration due to gravity on the moon = $\frac{g}{6} m/s^{2}$
• where g= 9.8 m/s².
• This implies that the object will weigh about one-sixth of what it weighs on earth.

Hence, the correction option is C) Gravitational force exerted on the moon by the Earth.
