If an object travels at a steady speed, we can deduce that *
Choose from the choices below:
there are no forces acting on it.
it is moving toward its natural place.
it has a very large inertia.
there is no unbalanced (net) force acting on it.
A falling object is pulled down by the earth. The earth is pulled up toward the object. Why doesn’t the earth move?
The Earth has a very large mass and a small acceleration.
Air resistance gets in the way.
Answer
Only the earth has gravity.
The Earth has a very small mass and a large acceleration.
