Gravitational force between the moon and the Earth

Victorian91 · Feb 2, 2009

Hi, I am just wandering based on the formula..

F = GMm/r^2

Is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the moon is the same as the gravitational force exerted by the moon on Earth ?

It should be the same right?
Both lies on a same radius..

Can someone clarify this..

Thanks..

Hint

Look up Newton's laws on Google. You should easily be able to figure it out looking an Newton's three laws of motion.
