Question

when an object falls freely under the influence of gravity there is a net force mg exerted on it by the earth. Yet by Newton's third law the object exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth. Does the earth move? Explain when an object falls freely under the influence of gravity there is a net force mg exerted on it by the earth. Yet by Newton's third law the object exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth. Does the earth move? Explain

The force that attracts Earth to an object is equal to and opposite the force that Earth exerts on the object. Explain why Earth's acceleration is not equal to and opposite the object's acceleration.

If the force of gravity that the earth exerts on you is considered to be the action force then, according to Newton's third law, the corresponding reaction force would be the Question 2 options: force you exert on your feet, pressing them against the Earth force of gravity you exert on the Earth force your feet exert downward on the Earth normal force of the Earth acting upward on you

As you stand on a floor, does the floor exert an upward force against your feet? How much force does it exert? Why aren’t you moved upward by this force?

00:01 When an object falls freely under the influence of gravity, the net force exerted on it by the earth is mg and so weight is equal to mg and according to newton's third law, newton's third law, the force exerted from one object to another have equal and opposite direction. 00:27 So, let m and m -dash be the mass of mass of object and earth respectively, and earths respectively...
