Let the force of the Moon on the Earth be F1. Let the force of the Earth pulling on the Moon be F2. Which of the following is greater? F1 ⊝ F2 ⊝ neither F1 nor F2 ⊝ cannot be determined without additional information

Respuesta :

Answer:

I guess the answer is f2

The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

The given parameters:

  • force of the moon on the Earth, = F1
  • force of the Earth on the moon, = F2

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

F₁ = -F₂

The force exerted on the moon by the Earth, is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the Earth by the moon but the forces are opposite in direction.

Thus, we can conclude that the two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
