Isaac newton believed there was a force acting on the moon because he observed that the moon's motion could be explained by the same laws of motion and gravity that govern objects on Earth.
What else can I help you with?
An object has a mass of 180kg on the moon what is the force of gravity acting on the object on the moon?
The force of gravity acting on an object on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth. Therefore, the force of gravity acting on an object with a mass of 180kg on the moon would be approximately 180kg * 1/6 = 30kg.
An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity acting on theobject on the moon?
To find the force of gravity that is acting on the moon you have to take the mass of the object and multiply it by the moon's gravity. It would be 180 kg times 1.63 m/s squared. Which equals 293.4 Newtons.
What would most likely happen if there were absolutely no gravitational force acting on the moon?
If there were absolutely no gravitational force acting on the moon, it would no longer be held in orbit around the Earth and would drift off into space.
What is the unbalanced force that affects the motion of a falling apple and the moon?
Newton knew that there was an unbalanced force acting on the moon and the falling apple through sheer logic. He realized that things only went down. The idea that what goes up must come down proved there was a scientific reason for this. He also realized there was a pressure or force in between objects that were standing still and whatever it was they were sitting on.The legend is that Newton made the connection between the two questions when he watched a falling apple. He knew that unbalanced forces are needed to change the motion of objects by changing the velocity of the objects. He concluded that an unbalanced force on the moon kept the moon moving circularly around Earth. Newton said that these two forces are actually the same force- a force that he called (gravity)
An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity?
The object's force on the moon's surface is 294N
How did Newton know that an unbalanced force was acting on an apple and on the moon?
Universal gravitation.....
How did newton know that an unbalanced force was acting on the apple an on the moon?
Universal gravitation.....
Why did newton conclude that some force had to pull the moon toward the earth?
Newton concluded that some force was pulling the moon towards the Earth because of the moon's curved path around the Earth, which was not linear. He proposed that this force was gravity, acting as an attractive force between the two objects. This led to his law of universal gravitation, which describes how all objects with mass attract each other.
How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?
The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.
How do you calculate the Moon's acceleration?
The Moon's acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). By knowing the mass of the Moon and the force acting on it (such as the gravitational force from Earth), you can calculate its acceleration. It is found to be approximately 0.0027 m/s^2.
What force did Newton say kept the moon and planets in orbit?
That force is gravity.
What evidence is the earth's gravitational force is acting on the moon?
The evidence that Earth's gravitational force is acting on the Moon is that the Moon orbits around the Earth in a regular and predictable path, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Additionally, the strength of Earth's gravitational pull can be calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation and is sufficient to keep the Moon in its orbit.
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
Newton concluded that some force had to act on the moon because?
a force is needed to pull the moon away from straight-line motion.

Are The forces of the earth and moon are equal?
The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.
