Question

the earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gracitational force.does the earth attracts 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 force that earth exerts on moon is same as the force moon exerts on the earth , it's same because in both cases the force will be. F = G M1 M2 / r^2 , actually this force provides the necessary centripetal force for the revolution of the moon around earth.. here M1 = mass of earth , M2 = mass of moon .. hope this helps
