Question

An object is placed exactly halfway between the Earth and moon. The object will fall toward the

Answer 1

Earth as the earth has a higher mass and therefore a higher gravitational force upon the object.

Answer 2

Force of Earth will be dominating and the object will fall towards Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

Mass of Earth

`M_e = 5.98 * 10^(24) kg`

Mass of Moon

`M_m = 7.35 * 10^(22) kg`

since we know that gravitational force depends on mass and the distance between two objects

so here if an object is placed midway between Moon and Earth then as we can see that mass of Earth is approx 100 times more than the mass of Moon

So here we can say that Force of Earth will be dominating and the object will fall towards Earth
