Because earths gravitational force is greater than that of the moon.
sergeinik [125]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}

Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.

Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:

1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon

2. Acorn is closer to the Earth

Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, what is the direction of the force on the test charge?
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.
