i reckon that it is right because according to newtons third law it explain that when force is exert on another object it will react with same magnitude so it might be right that it can apply same magnitude force as it has been apply.

Here's a cool idea: Turn the bathroom scale upside down, and step on it. Now you're weighing
the earth in your gravitational field. When I do that, the earth weighs 185 pounds on me.

∙ 8y agoIf they happen to pull in the same direction - that's when Earth, Sun, and Moon are all aligned - the tides are stronger than when they are at right angles.

If an object has a mass of 120 g on earth then on the moon it would have a mass of what?
The object would have the same mass as mass remains constant everywhere. On the other hand if it was weight it would change as weight = mass multiplied with gravitational force.
Which force pulls the marble to the bottom of the glass?
The Earth's gravitational force pulls the marble to the bottom of the glass. It is the same force that keeps our feet firmly on the ground.
You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Yes, because you attract the earth with the same gravitational force that the earth attracts you.
Which term is defined as the measure of the force of gravity acting on the mass of a substance?
The term describing the measure of gravitational force acting on a mass is "weight". A brick may weigh 6 pounds on earth but the same brick will weigh only 1 pound on the moon. The mass is the same here or there, but the gravitational force on the moon is only one sixth of the gravitational force on earth.
Does weight change as gravitational force changes?
yes...u dont weight the same in the moon,as in the earth ;) good luck! (:
Where is the strengh of gravitational forcen in the poles or equator?
If the Earth were a (homogeneous) sphere, the gravitational force on its surface would be the same everywhere. I think that the gravitational force is slightly larger at the equator (center bulging Earth). But you might not measure it because of the rotation of the Earth.
Why the force of gravity is not exactly the same everywhere on earth's surface?
The earth is not perfect sphere therefore the radius differs from place to place and from Newton Gravitational law force is directly proportional to radius
What has a higher gravitational pull the equator or the north pole?
The gravitational pull of the earth is pretty much the same anywhere between the poles and the equator creating a centripetal force pulling things in towards the earth.. However, the rotation of the planet results in an outward centrifugal force pushing things away from the earth. This force is greatest at the equator. Even though the gravitational pull is the same everywhere, the centrifugal force at the equator gives the impression of a very slightly lower gravitational pull.
If a person is attracted to the center of the earth by N gravitational force the force of attraction of the earth toward a person is?
9.8 or 10 Newtons to be exact. The gravitational force stays the same as long as you are on earth.
What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?
The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.
What is the value of gravitational constant in the surface of moon?
The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.
What is Earth's gravitational force compared to Neptune?
The force of gravity is the same everywhere in the universe. What do you mean exactly? You can calculate the force of gravity between any two objects with the following formular Mass times (multiplied by) Mass divided by distance squared.
What is the gravitational force of the planet pulling on the sun causes?
The gravitational force from a planet on the sun is so small. For example, 1,000,000 Earths can fit in the sun. The mass of the sun is 333,000 times bigger than the Earth. It is the same way you on Earth. You have a gravitational force on the Earth but it is so small.
Why is it that more massive objects have a greater gravitational force and yet everything on Earth falls with the same acceleration to the Earth?
The force is the product of mass and acceleration thus F= ma, if a is the same for all objects then the gravitational force difference depends on the mass alone.
What is the measure of the gravitational force exerted by earth on an object?
Commonly referred to as the object's "weight".Note: The object also exerts the same identical gravitational force on the earth.Earth
How does the earths radius affect the gravitational force on a object at its surface?
The Earth and the object exert a gravitational force on each other, but only the Earth's is big enough to measure. So, the formula for gravitational force include the distance from one body's surface to its center and the same for the other body. The length of the radius is directly proportional to the body's gravitational force.
Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?
In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.
