Question

An apple falls from a tree because of gravitational attraction between the earth and the apple. If F₁ is the magnitude of the force exerted by the earth on the apple and F₂ is the magnitude of the force exerted by the apple on earth, then

पर्याय

• F₁ is very much greater than F₂

• F₂ is very much greater than F₁

• F₁ is only a little greater than F₂

• F₁ and F₂ are equal

Answer 1

F₁ and F₂ are equal

Explanation:

F₁ and F₂ are equal as Newton’s law of gravitation obey Newton’s third law of motion, i.e., if an object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
