Answer:

Equal to W

Explanation:

It is given that, an object of weight W is in free fall close to the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. On the surface of Earth, the weight is given by :

W=mg

g=9.8\ m/s^2

The magnitude of the force that the object exerts on Earth is equal to W as per the Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted from one object to another object must be equal to and opposite to the force exerted from object 2 to 1.

So, the correct option is (c) "equal to W".

Which telescope would be better viewing a faint, distant star? Why?
grin007 [14]
Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars
