b.	FEarth on Sun = -FSun on Earth
c.	FEarth on Sun < FSun on Earth
d.	FEarth on Sun > FSun on Earth

shamim · Answer

I think u know third law of motion

shamim · Answer

Every action has an equal n oposit reaction

anonymous · Answer

yes I think it might be either a, or b because it should be the same force, but opposite direction, so maybe b?

shamim · Answer

Ya u r 100% right

shamim · Answer

B

anonymous · Answer

cool can i ask you another question about this?

shamim · Answer

Anyway dont u think sun has more attraction force than earth

anonymous · Answer

yes

shamim · Answer

Later u can ask

shamim · Answer

Because the mass of sun is much bigger than the mass of earth

anonymous · Answer

yes

shamim · Answer

Dont u think the earth attract me by 200N nd i m attracting earth by only 2N.

shamim · Answer

Because the mass of earth is much more than the mass of mine

anonymous · Answer

ok..

shamim · Answer

And all of my examples r contradictory with newtons third law of motion. Right?

anonymous · Answer

yeah!

shamim · Answer

So who is right? Me or newton?

anonymous · Answer

newton because your force will have to be greater to compensate for the large mass.

anonymous · Answer

so both objects would equal the same force

shamim · Answer

But hw m i wrong?!!

anonymous · Answer

inertia! It slows the object down with bigger mass

shamim · Answer

Wow.... true

shamim · Answer

Very glad to help u!!!!

anonymous · Answer

thanks!! :)

shamim · Answer

Anyway can i ask u 1 more thing?!!

anonymous · Answer

sure

shamim · Answer

Welcome!!"

shamim · Answer

I know 
If 2 equal n oposit force acts on an object then the body will b stationary or moving with uniform velocity. Right?

shamim · Answer

But when i kick a footbal?

shamim · Answer

There r 2 equal n oposit forces here

shamim · Answer

Then why the football is moving with accelerstion!

shamim · Answer

2 equal n oposit forces should b cancelled. Is not it?

anonymous · Answer

you move backwards with the same force, but you have more mass, so because of inertia, you move less, and you barely feel it????

shamim · Answer

Ya. Right!

shamim · Answer

Here2 different forces acting on different 2 bodies

shamim · Answer

If 2 forces acting on a same body. Then they will cancell
