    When you drop a 0.35 kg apple, Earth exerts a force on it that accelerates it at 9.8 m/s^2 toward the earths surface. According to Newton’s third law, the apple must exert an equal but opposite force on Earth. If the mass of the earth is 5.98x10^24 kg, what is the magnitude of the earth’s acceleration toward the apple? Answer in units of m/s^2.

    2. Recall that in Homework 1, we found that the Sun exerts a force on the Earth almost 200x that of the Moon on the Earth. However, the Moon is clearly primarily responsible for ocean tides! Sir Isaac Newton correctly realized that it wasn't the strength of this gravitational force that produced tides, but the fact that the Sun and the Moon pulled harder gravitationally on one side of the Earth than the other. Thus, the change in gravitational force...
