For the same force heavier mass experience lesser acceleration explain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When an apple falls it experiences Earth gravitational force .According to Newton's third law the apple exerts equal and opposite force on the Earth . Even though both the apple and Earth experience the same force their acceleration is diefferent . the mass of Earth is enormous compared to that of an apple . so an apple experiences large almost negligible acceleratin .Dut to the negligible acceleration Earth appears to be stationary when an apple falls.
