Concept explainers
To Explain:whether more massive Earth exerts greater force on Moon than the Moon exerts on the Earth.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Gravitational force:
Where,
The value of gravitational constant is
Though the Earth is more massive than the Moon, the gravitational force between Earth and moon is same. This is because the gravitational force depends on the mass of both the Earth as well as the Moon.
