Is it true that the attractive force of a 70kg person exerts on the Earth is smaller than the force the earth exerts on the person?

No, it is not. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". The 70kg person is pulling just as hard on the Earth as the Earth is on the 70kg person, i.e. about 686 N.

Earth exerts a force on an object equal to the object's weight. the object exerts a force on Earth?
Of exactly the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
What exerts the most gravitational force on you?
the earth of course.
What does The force of gravity that Earth exerts on objects in your solar system cause?
the moon to orbit the earth
How would the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth compare with the force it exerts today if the moon were moved so that it is half as far from the earth as it is today?
increases 4 times the initial force
What does the gravitational that the moon exerts on earth cause?
Low and high tides .
Who is the most attractive person on earth?
You !!!
Why earth attract all the things?
Any body with mass exerts a gravitational force proportional to mass.This force is always attractive. So earth attracts all things.
How do you stay on the earth?
Every planetary body (including the Earth) is surrounded by its own gravitational field, which exerts an attractive force on all objects. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation). Because of gravity of earth we stay on the earth.
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.
Why a person would weight more on earth than the moon?
The Earth has a higher mass, which means it exerts a larger gravitational force.
The force of attraction that the Earth exerts on all objects is called?
The answer is gravitational attraction. It is the attractive force between all objects that have mass. It's between you and me, you and your PC, and between everything.
Does Earth exert gravity?
Anything that has mass exerts a gravitational field, so yes, earth exerts one.
When a ball is dropped it is easy to see that earth exerts a force on it Why cant you tell that the ball exerts a force on earth?
it moves
Why does the moon have a greater affect on tides then the sun does?
Though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is closer to Earth than the Sun. So exerts a greater gravitation effect on Earth's oceans and seas.
Earth exerts a force on an object equal to the object's weight. the object exerts a force on Earth?
Of exactly the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.
Who has more gravity the moon are the earth?
The earth exerts a stronger gravitational force.
What force does the earth exerts by pulling?
The fource of Gravity.
