if you drop your textbook it falls because the earth pulls it downward. at the same time, your textbook pulls on the earth with a force that is group of answer choices zero. equal to the downward pull on the textbook and in the same direction. immeasurably small. equal to the downward pull on the textbook but in the opposite direction.

Answer :

The force that your textbook exerts on the Earth is immeasurably small, since the mass of the textbook is much, much smaller than the mass of the Earth.

What is force?

Force is a push or pull on an object due to its interaction with another object. Force is a vector quantity that is described by its magnitude and direction. It is typically measured in Newtons and represented by the symbol F. Force can cause an object to accelerate, change its direction, or change its shape. Force is an integral part of physics and is governed by the laws of motion.

This force is equal to the downward pull on the textbook but in the opposite direction, meaning that it is trying to pull the Earth up, canceling out the downward force. However, since the force exerted by the textbook is so small, it is not enough to counteract the pull of gravity, and thus the textbook falls.
