O No. Even though acceleration due to gravitational force of Miranda is smaller than that due to gravitational force of Uranus, the force itself is greater since object is closer to Miranda than to Uranus. The object will fall down relative to Miranda. No. Because of gravitational force of Uranus the object orbits Uranus along with Miranda, due additional gravitational force from Miranda it will fall down relative to Miranda. Yes. There are two gravitational forces acting on the object and their net force is towards Uranus. Object will fall down relative to Uranus, i.e. fall up relative to Miranda. O Yes. Miranda itself does't fall down on Uranus because it is a relatively big object and its farther side balances the gravitational force of Uranus. However the smaller object released 1 m above Miranda's surface on the side toward Uranus has no farther side to balance Uranus gravitational force. Object will fall down relative to Uranus, i.e. fall up relative to Miranda. Submit Request
