What does Newton's third law tell us about the force exerted on the earth by a satellite circling earth?

Excellent question! It doesn't tell us much.


How does the outer core of the earth produce the earth's gravitational pull?

Gravitation is towards the center of the Earth, but this is just the combined force of different parts of planet Earth pulling us in different direction.Gravitation is towards the center of the Earth, but this is just the combined force of different parts of planet Earth pulling us in different direction.Gravitation is towards the center of the Earth, but this is just the combined force of different parts of planet Earth pulling us in different direction.Gravitation is towards the center of the Earth, but this is just the combined force of different parts of planet Earth pulling us in different direction.


What is the distance from the Earth's center to a point outside the Earth where the gravitational acceleration due to the Earth is 145 of its value at the Earth's surface?

We know its value at a distances of 6378 km from the centre, that is where most of us are. It is an inverse-square force, so to experience 1/145th of the force you have to go to sqrt(145) times further away, which is a distance of 76,800 km. The force acting on the Moon is 1/3500 of what it is on the Earth's surface, which is why the Moon accelerates towards us at 2.8 mm/sec^2. But that is combined with a sideways velocity of 1 km/sec so it never hits us, it just keeps on going round in circles.


Why law of gravitation important to us?

1) The gravitational force of attraction of the Earth binds all terrestrial objects to the Earth 2) The gravitational force of earth keeps the atmosphere close to earth 3) The moon revolve around the earth 4) The gravitational pull of the sun on the planet keeps them revolving around the sun 5) The tides formed by the rising & falling of water level in the oceans are due to the gravitational force of sun & moon on the water


How physics affect us?

Physics affects us in a different way. Without physics we would not be on earth instead we all would be thrown into the outer space because of the centrifugal force.

What is the name of the force holding us to the ground?

Gravitational pull. It is pulling us towards the centre of the Earth. It is not visible . In space there is no gravitational force so we fly in space


What is the name of the force that holding us to earth?

Gravity holds us to Earth. It is a force that tries to pull us to the center of the earth because of its magnetic properties some items like water stops us from doing thatActually, it's a combination of two forces.Gravity attracts us towards the center of the Earth.Electromagnetic force keeps us from falling through the ground and reaching it.

Is the force of gravity a push or pull force?

Force of gravity is a pull force. Earth has this force. The earth pulls us towards its center so that we are standing on it. If it was to push we would be in space now.


What is meant of gravity?

What are the uses of gravitational force?

Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
