[QUOTE="scottdave, post: 6005415, member: 618222"] It's just like gravity, the attractive force acts on both objects. So if the magnet attracts the bullet with a force, the magnetic force is also pulling on the magnet. If the magnet is bolted to the earth, then the Earth's motion may change slightly. But since the Earth is much more massive than the bullet, the change will be barely noticed. I don't know if you are assuming that the bullet is made of a magnetic material. It could be something like copper, but you can still have it affected by the magnet, due to the conductor's motion in a magnetic field.
