The moon remains in Earth's orbit because of Earth's gravitational pull on the moon. In return, the moon exerts a gravitational

pull on Earth. The mass of the moon is 0.07346 x 1024 kg and Earth's mass is 5.9724 x 1024 kg. How does the gravitational pull of Earth on the moon compare to the moon's gravitational pull on Earth?
A. Earth pulls more strongly on the moon.
B. The moon pulls more strongly on Earth.
C. The moon and Earth pull on each other with equal force.
D. There is not enough information to answer this question.

Given what we know, we can confirm that the Earth pulls more strongly on the moon, option A is correct.

<h3 /><h3>Why does the Earth pull more strongly?</h3>

This has to do with the relationship between the mass of an object and its gravitational pull. These values are <u>directly proportional</u>, the more massive an object is, the stronger the gravitational pull that object exhibits. The moon does pull on the Earth as well, however, due to its smaller mass, it does not pull as strongly as the Earth on the moon.

Therefore, we can confirm that the Earth pulls more strongly on the moon, which means that option A is the correct choice for this question.

Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 2.70 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realiz
Katen [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v  =  6.66 \  m/s

Henrietta is at distance s=  18.17 \  m from the under the window

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of Henrietta is v=  2.70 \ m/s

The height of the window from the ground is h  =  36.5 \  m

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach the ground assuming it fell directly under the window is

t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  h }{g} }

=> t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  36.5 }{9,8} }

=> t  =  2.73 \  s

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach Henrietta is mathematically represented as

T =  t +  t_1

Here t_1 is the time duration that elapsed after Henrietta has passed below the window the value is given as 4 s

Now

T = 2.73  +  4

=> T = 6.73 \  s

Generally the distance covered by Henrietta before catching her lunch is

s=  v  *  T

=> s=  2.70  * 6.73

=> s=  18.17 \  m

Generally the speed with which Bruce threw her lunch is mathematically represented as

v  =  \frac{18.17}{2.73}

v  =  6.66 \  m/s
