Give short answer to the dollowing questions:
i. Where on Earth is the weight of an object the smallest?
ii. The Earth exerts a force on an apple. Does the apple exert a force back on Earth? If so, why is Earth’s motion not noticeable?
ii. The Earth exerts a force on an apple. Does the apple exert a force back on Earth? If so, why is Earth’s motion not noticeable?
i. Hence the weight of a body is minimum at .
ii. , the apple attracts the earth with the same force as the earth attracts the apple.
The mass of apple is as compared to that of the Earth. So, for same gravitational force, acceleration of the Earth is . Thus, Earth , whereas the apple will have considerable acceleration, which brings it down.
