Question

Consider Earth and the Moon. As you should now realize, the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the Moon is equal and opposite to that which the Moon exerts on Earth. Therefore, according to Newton’s second law of motion __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

F(Force)=m(mass)*a(acceleration).

Explanation:

F=ma means that for a particular F(force), the multiplication of mass and the acceleration must always remain the same.If the mass is smaller it's acceleration should be larger and vice versa.

Since the Moon is lighter than the Earth hence it's acceleration is more and the acceleration of earth is less.
