In a collision, there is a force on both objects that causes an acceleration of both objects; the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. For collisions between equal-mass objects, each object experiences the same acceleration.
The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.
The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2
where “G” is the gravitational constant.
Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.
The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.
The prefix "mega" means million.
Therefore
1 megameter = 10⁶ meters
That is,
1.0 megameter = 1,000,000.0 meters.
Answer:
The decimal is moved right by 6 places to convert a megameter to meters.
