Gravity Attached !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really don't think its B or D

OpenStudy (roadjester):

you're correct

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

I was thinking C?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

it does, but probably not enough to be noticeable.........because of the difference in mass?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

Newton's 3rd Law

OpenStudy (roadjester):

well ok, a person weighs what? 70 kg roughly? the earth's mass is 5.97 X10^24 That's 24 orders of magnitude difference.

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking based on Newton's 3rd law it wouldn't be noticeable

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

C

OpenStudy (roadjester):

no You jumping up is not an action-reaction pair

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

wha?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

ok --scrap Newton's stuff [first part is right] lol @arilove1d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really ?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

thats what he says--- @roadjester

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

The gravitational force between two objects is dependent on their masses. Because you are a dot compared to the Earth, you exert a very negligible force on the Earth which wouldn't affect it significantly.

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

yea, thanks @Isaiah.Feynman

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

No medal? :(

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

i can fan you , though @Isaiah.Feynman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be be because your mass is small compared to earth's

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

yes maam :}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does the earth exert gravitational force on itself?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

i dont think so......

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

No.

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

dont get confused ---its C lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just making sure lol

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

:}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct thank you ! :)

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

@arilove1d I already explained why its C. So don't worry.

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

YAY!!!
