according to newton's 3rd law, when an object is dropped above the earth, does the object pull up on the . .

Question

earth? I have found that as a car accelerates, it accelerates the earth, albeit negligibly. Thanks.

Answer 1

You are right.
Newton's third law says;
A force is a push or a pull upon an object which results from its interaction with another object.Forces result from interactions!

According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is:

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature. Consider the propulsion of a fish through the water. A fish uses its fins to push water backwards. But a push on the water will only serve to accelerate the water. In turn, the water reacts by pushing the fish forwards, propelling the fish through the water. The size of the force on the water equals the size of the force on the fish; the direction of the force on the water (backwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the fish (forwards). For every action, there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fish to swim.

Hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

Any object with mass will exert a gravitational pull, but a small object only generates a small amount.

If you drop a coin, good luck trying to measure the effect on earth, but drop the moon and look out.....

the moon already exert tidal forces and its just in orbit.

Answer 3

Yes,

when God dropped the Sun above the Earth,
the latter was pulled up with quite a force.
Still acclerating to this day, too.

Answer 4

That's correct. Was there a question or did you just want to know if you were interpreting Newton's 3rd law correctly?

Answer 5

It's all relative, dude.
