12 Would it ever be possible for the moon to exert more gravitational pull on ship than the earth would?
No. This would be impossible. Isaac newton showed in his Law of Gravitation that gravity depends on three things: 1. The Gravitation Constant - a tiny number (symbol G) that is universal across the univers that is a measurement of the strength of the force of gravity compared with other forces like magnetism. It is approximately 0.00000000006 2. The masses of the objects between which the force acts - the larger the mass the larger thr force 3. The distance between the objects - the smaller the distance the larger the force. So in the case of the ship, (a) the gravitation constant would be the same for the earth, ship and moon so this constant would be irrelevant in this case. (b) The earth is much more massive that the moon and so would exert a greater force on the ship than the moon ever could. So the earth would exert more gravitational pull than the earth. (c) The earth is nearer to the ship (just the depth of the sea away!) than the moon (over 240,000 miles away!) and so the earth would exert a larger gravitational pull. So the earth wins on both counts!
What else can I help you with?
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?
Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.
What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?
They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true or false?
False. Every object attracts every other object, through the gravitational force.
Does the moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the moon?
false
Why does earth exert a stronger gravitational froce then the moon?
its bigger
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
Does the earth and the moon exert a gravitational force on each other?
no they don't
True or false The Moon orbits Earth and not the Sun because the Sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the Moon?
False. The Moon orbits around Earth due to Earth's gravitational pull, but the Sun also exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. The combined gravitational forces of Earth and the Sun control the Moon's orbit.
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?
Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth.

What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?
They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object
Does Earth exert gravity?
Anything that has mass exerts a gravitational field, so yes, earth exerts one.
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true or false?
False. Every object attracts every other object, through the gravitational force.
What objects will the earth exert a greater gravitational pull than on a baseball?
A bicycle A truck . A camel
Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?
Does the moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the moon?
false
