Question

Do a stone and the earth attract each other with an equal and opposite force

Answer 1

Hi
yes, the force of attraction between stone and earth is equal,
mean ,the earth is attract a stone with same force to stone attract the earth.
the question arise is that then why earth dont fall on stone ,and why stone fall on earth.

okk.... we know that the mass of the earth is more as compare to the stone mass (mass of the stone is negligible as compare to the earth mass) so ,the gravity of earth(g) is more than then stone .hence ,stone fall on earth not earth .

but in my point of view ,earth may be fall on earth but we cant feel it ,earth is so huge and we are not able to see motion of earth then how we can see fall of earth on stone.

thanks for asking
