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.

An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.
