How strongly, and in what direction, does a 1-newton apple pull on Earth?
 
  A) It pulls downward, with a force of 1 newton.
  B) It pulls upward, with a force of 1 newton.
  C) It pulls upward, with a force that is much smaller than 1 newton.
  D) The apple does not pull on Earth at all; it is Earth that pulls downward on the apple.
  E) It pulls upward, with a force that is much larger than 1 newton.

Question 2

If you somehow increased Earth's radius, without changing its mass, would this affect your weight?
 
  A) Yes, your weight would increase.
  B) No, because your weight always remains the same regardless of how you change the external surroundings.
  C) No, because the force of gravity on your body depends only on your mass and on Earth's total mass--it doesn't depend on Earth's size.
  D) Yes, your weight would decrease.
