When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not noticeable?

Sagot :

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.
