Q6 According to Newton's 3rd law, as an apple is falling toward Earth, the apple exerts a force on Earth. If the apple's mass is 0.20 kg, what is the magnitude of the force the apple exerts on Earth? Q7 According to Newton's 2nd law, a net external force always causes acceleration. That means that Earth accelerates toward the falling apple. Determine the size of the acceleration of Earth toward the apple. Use Newton's 2nd Law with mɛasth = 6 x 1024 kg.
