Question

An apple of mass 0.25 kg falls from a tree. The ratio of acceleration of the apple towards the earth and of the earth towards the apple is (mass of earth = 6 x 10²⁴ kg, radius of earth = 6.4 x 10⁶ m and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N - m²kg^-2)

(a) \(\frac{1}{24\,\times\,10^{-24}}\)

(b) 24 x 10²⁴

(c) 24 x 10^-24

(d) \(\frac{1}{24\,\times\,10^{24}}\) 

Answer 1

Answer is (b) 24 x 10²⁴
