You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Yes, because you attract the earth with the same gravitational force that the earth attracts you.
A projectile fired horizontally will accelerate toward earth at a rate of?
9.8 m/s
Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
When you drop your egg device over the balcony it accelerated noticabley toward the earth because of gravitational interation between the egg device and earth does the earth accelerate toward the egg?
Actually, the egg device moves toward the Earth, because usually, the larger object has the greater gravitational pull.
What makes you feel weightless in an elevator?
The earth's gravity causes objects on earth (you) to accelerate toward earth's center at approximately 9.8 m/s2, when an elevator accelerates toward the earth's center (down) some of the force that you feel from gravity (weight) is negated. This results in a feeling of weightlessness.

Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
Why does an Apple fall toward the earth instead of the earth moving towards the Apple?
Because the mass f the Earth is way greater then the apple's mass. Though apple attracts earth it is so negligible that it is equal to 0
When you drop the apple identifies all the forces actions on it as it falls and the corresponding reaction forces?
the apple and the earth accelerate toward each other. force on apple (and earth) f = ((G * earth mass * apple mass) / distance ^2 ) . earth mass = 5.974 * 10^24 kg apple mass = 0.5 kg distance (between centre of gravities) = 6 371 000 metres . f = 4.909938 newtons . acceleration of apple = f / mass apple = 9.8199 (m/s)/s acceleration of earth = f / mass earth = 8.219 * 10^-25 (m/s)/s
What is the direction that gravity causes objects to accelerate?
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth
What is a sentence for the word accelerate?
He would wildly accelerate his car when the traffic light turned green. Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate as they move toward the Earth. Living in a foreign country can accelerate the speed at which you learn the native language.
Gravity causes all objects to accelerate toward and earth at a rate of?
9.8 meters per second squared.

Actually, the egg device moves toward the Earth, because usually, the larger object has the greater gravitational pull.

When you drop a 0.40 Kg apple earth exerts a force on it that accelerates it 9.8 ms2 toward the earth's surface according to Newton's third law the apple must exert an equal and opposite force on?
I believe earth eats the apple. that's it.
Why do objects accelerate during free fall?
Earth's gravity pulls all objects toward its center of mass, or in most cases toward the surface. Gravity is a property of matter,and causes every mass to exert a force on every other mass. In this case, the Earth's gravity applies a force to every object on it, and that force will accelerate an object toward the Earth's center, unless it is prevented by some intervening mass. It will still have the potential to accelerate again if the intervening mass is removed.
