the force that the planet exerts on the moon is equal to the force that the moon exerts on the planet

Explanation:

In this problem we are analzying the gravitational force acting between a planet and its moon.

The magnitude of the gravitational attraction between two objects is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we are considering a planet and its moon. According to Newton's third law of motion,

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

If we apply this law to this situation, this means that the force that the planet exerts on the moon is equal to the force that the moon exerts on the planet.

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.
