Question

Answer

Star 2 attracts Star 1 with a greater gravitational force than Star 1 attracts Star 2.

Earth exerts almost equal gravitation force on both the stars.

Star 1 attracts Star 2 with a greater gravitational force than Star 2 attracts Star 1.

Earth exerts greater gravitation force on Star 2 than on Star 1.

Answer 1

Help :/ im in the test

Answer 2

according to newtons third law...''every reaction force has equal magnitude of force acting on it but only in opposite direction''.......thus star1 and star2 cannot attract eachother with different forces....since the gravitational accelaration of the earth would b same for both the stars, the earth would exert the same gravitational force on both the stars...thus ans: Earth exerts almost equal gravitation force on both the stars

Answer 3

Was the test for Emmanuel or OpenStudy? ;-)
