Question

When you drop a penny, why does it fall toward the ground but not toward your body?

Your body’s gravitational pull is small compared to the Earth’s pull.
The distance between you and the penny is too small to affect the penny.
Your body does not exert any gravitational force on the penny.
Only large objects like the sun and the planets can attract the penny.

Answer 1

Answer:

With the two forces balanced, the penny no longer accelerates. Instead it falls at a constant speed, called the terminal velocity, all the way to the ground. Pennies are flat, so they experience a lot of air resistance, and they are light, so it doesn't take much drag to counteract their weight.

Answer 2

option 1.

your body's gravitational pull is small is compared to the Earth's pull.

this is because the mass of the earth is greater compared to our mass.

you can also say that according to this formula

$f = ma$

that f is directly proportional to m, i.e., mass. so, if m is more f will be more and if m is less so f will be also less and if f is less then our gravitational pull will be less because the mass of earth is more.
