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).

What is the force a 800N man exerts on the earth?
The force that an 800N man exerts on the Earth is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that the Earth exerts on the man, by Newton's third law. So, the force the man exerts on the Earth is 800N.
1Newton in kgs?
A Newton (or a Kilonewton) is a measure of FORCE, not of weight. On Earth's surface, a mass of 1 kg exerts a force of approximately 9.8 N [down]
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?
While the ball does exert a force on Earth according to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted by the ball on Earth is much smaller compared to the force exerted by Earth on the ball due to Earth's much larger mass. This makes the effect of the ball's force on Earth negligible in comparison.
How does the size of how does the size of the force exerted by earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on earth?
The force exerted by Earth's gravity on a car is equal in size (magnitude) to the force the car exerts on Earth. This is described by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
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?
According to Newton's third law, the apple exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth when it is dropped. This force is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the apple and causes the Earth to accelerate towards the apple, although this acceleration is extremely small due to the Earth's large mass compared to the apple.
What is the force a 800N man exerts on the earth?
The force that an 800N man exerts on the Earth is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that the Earth exerts on the man, by Newton's third law. So, the force the man exerts on the Earth is 800N.
How does the size of the force exerted by Earth's gravity on a car compare with the force the car exerts on Earth?
The magnitude of the force is exactly the same (Newton's Third Law).
Earth exerts a force on an object equal to the object's weight. the object exerts a force on Earth?
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, while the Earth exerts a force on an object that is equal to the object's weight, the object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on Earth. This is why you can feel the ground pushing up on you when you stand on it.

When you push downward on earth to make a pole vault earth exerts an equal force on the pole is this true or false statement?
True. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you push downward on the Earth to make a pole vault, the Earth exerts an equal force upward on the pole.
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.
Are the forces between Earth and the Moon a Newtonian third law pair?
Yes, the forces between Earth and the Moon follow Newton's third law. The Earth exerts a gravitational force on the Moon, and in return, the Moon exerts an equal but opposite gravitational force on the Earth.
How does the size of how does the size of the force exerted by earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on earth?
The force exerted by Earth's gravity on a car is equal in size (magnitude) to the force the car exerts on Earth. This is described by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Does Earth exert gravity?
Anything that has mass exerts a gravitational field, so yes, earth exerts one.
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?
According to Newton's third law, the apple exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth when it is dropped. This force is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the apple and causes the Earth to accelerate towards the apple, although this acceleration is extremely small due to the Earth's large mass compared to the apple.
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, the force of gravity between the Earth and a 70kg person is the same, according to Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted by the person on the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the Earth on the person.
