The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.
Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.
Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.
Answer:
According to Newton's 2nd law
The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.
Explanation:
a = F/m
F = ma
Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.
Answer:
Say a 14 year old girl was at a construction site and she was asked to move something like a 10,000 pound brick( one brick). She would be acting on it as the unbalanced force but they would still not change their position.
so to say the girl would be doing everything she could to move that brick but the brick would still be in that same spot so the unbalanced force (the girl) would be acting on the thing that was at rest but it wouldn't move.
so the unbalanced force would not really be acting on the thing at rest; even though the unbalanced force was doing something to the brick.
( just think about it and you will eventually get it...just imagine in your head...)
