thanks can u giv me the reason? has this got to do anything with the mass of the bodies?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

The Force applied by earth on the aluminium is same as the force applied by aluminium on earth. \[F=G\frac{m\times M}{r^2}\] But mass of earth is much greater than mass of aluminium , so earth moves very less distance( close to zero) but aluminium accelerates very much .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both the forces are equal
