If I jump, I accelerate away from Earth.
However, if I drop a human on the ground, he doesn't accelerate away from the Earth.
In both cases the force used on the Earth is about the same, but acceleration away from the Earth exists in one case and doesn't exist in another case. Why so?
(not a homework question but one I thought of myself)(English is my 2nd language)
