Question

why dont we see the ground coming toward us? we have less gravitational force than the earth we have more inertia than the earth we have less mass than the earth we are already standing on the earth

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is mutual. However, the acceleration an object experiences due to a force is inversely proportional to its mass ($a=\frac{F}{m}$). The Earth has a significantly larger mass than a human - sized object. Although the gravitational force acts on both the person and the Earth, the Earth's large mass results in a negligible acceleration towards the person compared to the person's acceleration towards the Earth. So we don't see the ground coming towards us because we have less mass than the Earth.

Answer:

We have less mass than the Earth
