प्रश्न
An apple falls towards the earth due to its gravitational force. The apple also attracts the earth with the same force. Why do we not see the earth rising towards the apple? Explain.
उत्तर
Yes, it is true that apple attracts the earth towards it with same force but the mass of the earth is so huge that acceleration produced in it due to this force is very much small and negligible to notice
