if an object is falling to earth, is the equal and opposite force to gravity (Newtons 3rd law) the pull of the Earth towards the object?
Gravity's reaction force is the force exerted by an object due to the gravitational pull of another object. It is a mutual force that occurs between any two objects with mass.
Gravity's reaction force works by attracting objects with mass towards each other. The larger the mass of the objects, the greater the force of gravity between them.
The factors that affect gravity's reaction force include the mass of the objects, the distance between them, and the universal gravitational constant (G).
Gravity's reaction force is important in our daily lives because it keeps us grounded on Earth and allows us to move and interact with our surroundings. It also plays a crucial role in the motion of objects in space.
No, gravity's reaction force cannot be cancelled out. It is a fundamental force that is always present and cannot be eliminated. However, its effects can be counteracted by other forces, such as the normal force or friction.
