A tree moves at 30 km/s relative to the Sun. A squirrel jumps from a branch on
this tree to an acorn on the ground. But taking one second to drop, the acorn
should then be 30 kilometers away. We can understand why this reasoning is
wrong by looking to Newton's
Third law
First law
Second law
Law of gravitation


Sagot :

The reasoning is wrong if we look into Newton's Law of gravitation.

Newton's law of gravitation states  that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

The law is written as follows;

[tex]F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }[/tex]

The distance between the two particles, is a function of force and their masses not necessarily time of motion.

In the given problem only time of motion was considered which is wrong.

Thus, the reasoning is wrong if we look into Newton's Law of gravitation.
