An apple falls because of the gravitational attraction to Earth. How does the gravitational attraction of Earth
Question:
An apple falls because of the gravitational attraction to Earth. How does the gravitational attraction of Earth to the apple compare? (Does force change when you interchange m1 and m2 in the equation for gravity-m2m1 instead of m1m2?)
Step by Step Answer:
The forces between the apple a...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
