An apple falls because of the gravitational attraction of the earth. What is the gravitational attraction of apple on the earth?

Answer»
  • We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = \(\frac{GM}{R^2}\) Here M is the mass of the earth. 
  • In this mass of the object which is freely falling has no effect on ‘g’. 
  • Hence the gravitational attraction of apple on the earth is negligible.
