One year on earth is equal to how many years on mercury?
Mercury's orbit of 88 days is approximately 1/4 of an Earth year.
How does Newtons 3rd law of motion apply to a horse jumping?
Newton's Third Law states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." And so the horse jumps by pushing against the earth in which the earth then pushes an equal and opposite amount of force on the horse which makes it goes up in the air.
What distance from the Earth will a spacecraft traveling directly from the Earth to the Moon experience zero net force because the Earth and Moon pull with equal and opposite forces?
When the Earth/Moon distance is 238,000 miles, it's in the neighborhood of 214,100 miles from Earth, 23,900 miles from the moon. The answer can't be rock-solid, because the Earth/Moon distance is so variable.
What are the examples of Newton's Third law pairs?
Newton's third law. It states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It is sometimes called the Law of action and reaction.
How many days on earth are equal to one day on the moon?
Roughly 29 days on earth is equal to one day on the moon.
Earth exerts a force on an object equal to the object's weight. the object exerts a force on Earth?
Of exactly the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
Is the force exerted by the Moon on Earth equal to the force exerted by the Earth on Moon?
Yes for every action there will be an EQUAL and opposite reaction. This is Newton's third law
Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?
No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.
Why can a spaceship move away from Earth?
The force the rocket uses is stronger or equal to the rocket's mass, so it can push it in the opposite direction of the Earth's gravitational pull.
One year on earth is equal to how many years on mercury?
Mercury's orbit of 88 days is approximately 1/4 of an Earth year.
What does newtons third law say about forces?
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every force there is an equal, opposite, and co-linear force countering the original force. An example of this would be the force of you, sitting in a chair, pressing down on the Earth, being balanced by an equal and opposite force of the Earth pressing up on you and the chair. Answer2: At Conservation of Energy, the forces sum to zero.
What are some of the force that effect an object on earth?
On earth, the forces acting on any object is gravity. Since there is an equal and opposite reaction to any force, the earth pushes back on the object. This is called the normal force.
Is it true that the attractive force of a 70kg person exerts on the Earth is smaller than the force the earth exerts on the person?
No, it is not. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". The 70kg person is pulling just as hard on the Earth as the Earth is on the 70kg person, i.e. about 686 N.

Why cant you always see the moon at night time?
The moon orbits the Earth in a period that doesn't exactly equal the rotational period of Earth itself, so half the time it's on the opposite side of the Earth from wherever you happen to be.
What is stronger earth gravity or your gravity?
Gravity is a partnership. The 'strength' of gravity depends on both of the objectsinvolved. Between any two masses, there is a pair of equal, opposite forces. The forceof gravity pulling you toward the Earth (your "weight") is exactly equal to the force ofgravity pulling the Earth toward you. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, then the Earthweighs 150 pounds on you.
What distance from the Earth will a spacecraft traveling directly from the Earth to the Moon experience zero net force because the Earth and Moon pull with equal and opposite forces?
