| The planet and its satellite fall on the Sun with the same acceleration. Is it true in this case Newton’s second law, according to which acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body?
Fair. The accelerations of bodies of various masses are constant because the gravitational force itself is proportional to the mass of the attracted body.
