B. The moon and meteorites exerted equal but opposite forces on each other. (Newton's third law of motion)

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the moon as object A and the meteorites as object B. Therefore, we can say that:

- The action is the force exerted by the moon on the meteorites

- The reaction is the force exerted by the meteorites on the moon

And according to Newton's third law, these two forces are equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction).

Being conscious makes us feel that we are capable of doing and feeling something for the moment.

<h2>Answer:20.97g N,32.63g N</h2>

Explanation:

We consider the forces at the knot.

The vertical forces are

$T_{2}Sin(50^{0}})$ is the vertical component of tension $T_{2}$ at the knot.

$-25g$ is the weight of the mass $25Kg$ acting downwards.

The horizontal forces are

$-T_{1}$ is the tension in the rope acting left.

$T_{2}Cos(50^{0})$ is the horizontal component of tension $T_{2}$ acting towards right.

Since the knot has no mass,it is always in equilibrium.

So,the sum of forces acting on it will be zero.

Balancing vertical forces gives,

$T_{2}Sin(50^{0}})$ $-25g=0$

$T_{2}$ = $32.63gN$

Balancing horizontal forces gives,

$T_{2}Cos(50^{0})$ $-T_{1}=0$

$T_{1}=32.63g\times Cos(50^{0})=20.97gN$
