Question

The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by
gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a
force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force
with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The earth attract the moon with the same force as the moon attract the earth .

Explanation:

We know that each action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So if we earth attracts the moon with force F then the moon is also attracting the earth with force F but with opposite direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of F is same for earth and the moon. Both bodies will exert the same

amount of force on each other. As per universal law of gravitation, every body

attracts the other body with some force and this force is same for both the bodies

called gravitational force.
