Question


Newton saw a relationship between the movement of the moon and the movement of an apple. What inference can be made about the force of Gravity based on this relationship? The physical laws that work on earth are limited to the Earth. Physical laws are different in different parts of the universe. The laws of Physics are not applicable outside our atmosphere. The laws of physics are the same everywhere so gravity works both on the Earth and in space. No inference can be made. There is no relationship between how the moon goes around the earth and how an apple falls.

Explanation / Answer

moon rotate around the sun because of earth attraction towards moon due to its gravity while moon also have gravity of its own .Physics laws are same everywhere but gravity may not exist in space but laws will be valid there too .By same laws only we will get that there is no gravity.Moon is also attracted towards centre of earth so it rotates .So option C is correct
