NOw, say we did that... Would the earth move east (up, towards the children), or west (due to the force of resulting impact)...
But hey, I'm about to give up on my Physics classes, so I'm not much of an expert... |
It would move west when they jumped, then east an equal amount due to the gravitation... The net accelleration would be 0. The net movement also be 0.
