If gE and gM are the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the earth and the moon respectively.

Monjur Alahi

If gE and gM are the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the earth and the moon respectively and if Millikan’s oil drop experiment could be performed on the two surfaces, one will find the ratio 

(electronic charge on the moon)/(electronic charge on the earth) to be
(a) gM /gE 

(b) 1

(c) 0 

(d) gE /gM

(b) : Since electronic charge (1.6 × 10–19C) universal constant. It does not depend on g.
Therefore,Electronic  charge on the moon = electronic charge on the earth

or (electronic charge on the moon)/(electronic charge on the earth) = 1.

If the moon attracts the earth, why does the earth not move towards the moon?

The Earth and the moon experience equal gravitational forces from each other. However, the mass of the Earth is much larger than the mass of the moon. Hence, it accelerates...

Suppose gravity of earth suddenly becomes zero, then in which direction will the moon begin to move if no other celestial body affects it?

The moon will begin to move in a straight line in the direction in which it was moving at that instant because the circular motion of moon is due to...

The acceleration of moon with respect to earth is 0.0027 m/s^2 and the acceleration of an apple falling on earth's

(b) 0.0027 m/s2    Explanation:  When moving in the orbit, the moon balances the force on it by the earth with its uniform circular motion in the orbit resulting in centrifugal force. When...

A disc rotates about its axis with a constant angular acceleration of 4 rad/s^2. Find the radial and tangential accelerations of a particle at a

t = 1 sec, r = 1 cm = 0.01 m  = 4 rd/s2 Therefore  ω= αt = 4 rad/s Therefore radial acceleration, An =ω2r = 0.16 m/s2 = 16 cm/s2
