I think its Coulomb's law<span>

Its actually C. I did the question on USA test prep and it said the correct answer was C.
Answer:
The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
mass of the apple = 0.43 kg
acceleration = 9.8 m/s²
mass of earth = 5.98 * 10 ^24 kg
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the acceleration of the earth
Following the third law of Newton F = m*a
F(apple) = F(earth) = m(apple)*a(apple)
F(apple) = 0.43 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 4.214 N
a(earth) = F(apple/earth)/m(earth)
a(earth) = 4.214N /5.98 * 10 ^24 kg
a(earth) = 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²
The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²
