Earth pulls down on this rock what is the reaction to this force?
The rock exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, according to Newton's third law of motion. This means that while the Earth pulls the rock downward due to gravity, the rock also pulls the Earth upward with an equal force.
How much force does a person in outer space exert on earth if the earth exerts 850 N on the weightless person?
The person in space exerts a force of 850 N on the earth. The fact that the person is weightless has no bearing on this question. Ever since Newton enunciated his three laws of motion we have known that action and reaction are equal and opposite. If the earth pulls him with 850 N, then he pulls the earth with 850 n.
What is the force that pulls all objects to the earth?
GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.
When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him or her down to the water what is the reaction force to earth gravity?
The reaction force to Earth's gravity on the diver is the gravitational attraction that the diver exerts back on Earth. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the Earth pulls the diver down, and the diver also pulls the Earth up with an equal force.
What force does Earth exerts on a ball thrown into the air?
The force exerted by Earth on a ball thrown into the air is the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. As the ball goes up, gravity acts to bring it back down towards the Earth's surface.
What pulls down the object to earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.
The earth pulls you down and the ground?
The Earth's gravity pulls objects towards its center, including you, causing you to feel a downward force. When you stand on the ground, it exerts an equal and opposite force upwards on you, keeping you from falling due to gravity. This balance of forces allows you to stay firmly on the ground.
Force that pulls objects toward the earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.
What is a force which pulls you down?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
What force pulls all items to the earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object. The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.
A man drops a baseball off of the top of the Empire State Building. If the action force is the pull of the Earth on the ball then what is the reaction force?
The reaction force is the push of the ball on the Earth, according to Newton's third law of motion. This means as the Earth pulls the ball downward, the ball also exerts an equal and opposite force back up on the Earth.
How is it true that that if earth pulls on a grapefruit with a force of 1 newton the grapefruit also exerts a force of 1 newton on Earth?
It is true. Such forces always come in pairs. (This is related to Conservation of Momentum.) Of course, the effect of such a force on the Earth - the amount Earth accelerates, if you release the grapefruit - will be much less than the effect on the grapefruit (by Newton's Second Law).
