calculate the acceleration and force in which you pull on the earth

OpenStudy (xishem):

Hint: The force you pull on Earth with is the same force it pulls on you.

i have no clue

OpenStudy (xishem):

\[\vec{F}=m\vec{a}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are just starting to learn this could you just do it step by step

OpenStudy (xishem):

\[F=ma\], where F is the force, m is the mass, a is the acceleration. You know your mass and you know your acceleration (at Earth's surface).

are u asking me if i know

OpenStudy (xishem):

Or, perhaps you've learned Newton's universal law of gravitation?\[F=G \frac{M_1M_2}{r^2}\]I don't know what you've learned in your class, so it's pretty hard for me to gauge in what ways you can know how to approach the problem. You know your weight, I presume. You need to know something about your mass/weight to even try and approach this problem. Your weight, from a scale or something.
