Newton's 2nd law F=ma explains that objects will move in the direction of the acceleration a. The object is subject to an acceleration, in this case the acceleration is g= GM/r2 toward earth.
Newton discovered this acceleration in. his law of universal Gravitation, F=mGM/r2
This is why objects fall to earth.
F=ma says that the force required to produce an acceleration is proportional to mass. The moon does not move in the direction of the acceleration. It accelerates but contiously misses falling onto the earth because it is moving sideways. For ordinarary falling objects, the force of gravity pulls them down, since they are not moving sideways fast enough to miss the earth. It's the law of gravity working here not the law of motion.

What is the description of motion?
This explanation unified the motion of celestial bodies and motion of objects on earth.
What is the scientific description of motion?
This explanation unified the motion of celestial bodies and motion of objects on earth.
Why we cannot perceive the motion of earth around sun?
All the objects on the earth including the atmosphere are in motion along with the earth. So, it is not possible to perceive the motion of the earth staying on the earth.
What is responsible for the patterns of motion of all celestial objects?
Gravity for the real motion, the Earth's rotation for the apparent motion.
What is the gravitational force of any objects near earth's surface?
9.8 newtons per kilogram of mass
Why is space a good place to demonstrate Newtons laws of motion?
because Earth's Gravitational field would not effect it.
How does newtons law of universal gravitation apply to earth and moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.
How does newtons law of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.
How does newtons laws of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.
How does Newtons law of universal gravitation apply to the earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.
What is the weight of 54kg in newtons on earth?
54kg in newtons on earth weighs 529.2 newtons.
How is the motion of an object compared to other objects that are standing still?
They are the exact same. If an object is standing still, it is in motion. Everything in the world is in motion. Not because of the earth moving, it is because particles in all objects are moving.
