If the moon attracts the earth, why does the earth not move towards the moon?
The mass of earth is $6\times10^{24}\ kg$ and that of the moon is $7.4\times10^{22}\ kg$. If the distance between the earth and the moon is $3.84\times10^{5}\ km$. Calculate the force exerted by the earth and the moon.
Which force is responsible for the moon revolving round the earth?
The diameter of the moon is approximately one fourth of the diameter of the earth. What fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon?
If the mass of the moon is 1/100 th the mass of the earth and the radius of moon is 1/4th to the radius of earth , what is the ratio of acceleration due to gravity on earth to that on the moon?
Why moon revolves around the earth and not around the sun? As the force of attraction between the sun and moon is greater than the force of attraction between earth and moon.
The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?
Why is the atmosphere much rarer on the moon than on the earth?
The mass of the body on earth is $60\ kg$, what is its weight on the earth and on moon.
The mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg and that of the moon is 7.4 ×1022 kg. If the distance between the earth and the moon be 3.84 × 105 km, calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon. (G = 6.7 × 10−11 Nm2 kg−2)
Moon revolves around the earth due to gravitational force $(F)$ of earth on moon. The work done by the gravitational force is $(r=radius\ of\ circular\ orbit\ of\ moon)$:$F.2\pi r$$F.\pi r$zeronegative work
What is the value of gravitational constant G (i) on the earth, and (ii) on the moon?
Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only $\frac{1}{6}$ as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a $10\ kg$ object on the moon and on the earth?
Moon revolves around the earth due to gravitational force $(F)$ of earth on moon. The work done by the gravitational force is ($r=$ radius of the circular orbit of moon) (a) $F.2\pi r$(b) $F.\pi r$(c) zero(d) negative work
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:(a) The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about .................... of that on the earth.(b) In order that the force of gravitation between two bodies may become noticeable and cause motion, one of the bodies must have an extremely large .......................(c) The weight of an object on the earth is about .............. of its weight on the moon.(d) The weight of an object on the moon is about ..................... of its weight on the earth.(e) The value of g on the earth is about ............... of that on the moon.(f) If the weight of a body is 6 N on the moon, it will be about................on the earth.
