Chapter 5.9, Problem 5.11CE
A child jumping off the monkey bars at a playground accelerates toward the ground because of the gravitational force exerted on him by the Earth. From Newton’s third law, the force exerted by the Earth on the child is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the child on the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate? Explain.
