According to Newton's law of gravitation, every object attracts every other object. Thus, if the earth attract an apple towards itself, the apple also attracts the earth towards itself with the same force. Why then does the apple fall toward the earth, but the earth does not move towards the apple ?

A stone and the earth attract each other with an equal and opposite force.Why then we see only the stone falling towards the earth but but not the earth rising towards the stone ?

State whether the following statements are true or false: (a) A falling stone also attracts the earth. (b) The force of gravitation between two objects depends on the nature of medium between them. The value of G on the moon is about one-sixth ((1)/(6)) of the value of G on the earth. (d) The acceleration due to gravity acting on a freely falling body is directly proportional to the mass or the body. The weight of an object on the earth is about one-sixth of its weight on the moon.
