Question

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth's gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitational force she is exerting on the earth.True/False

Answer 1

False

Angelina's gravitational pull on the Earth is equal to the Earth's gravitational pull on her.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is known from Newton's Third Law of Motion which states that for every action/force there is an equal and opposite reaction/force. Therefore, even though the Earth is much larger than Angelina, their force on one another is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
