  • No, it isn’t. Because earth wouldn’t fall towards the ball. Why?

    Go to your frige right now and try to push it with one finger. It doesn’t move does it? You may say “That’s because of static friction!” And you would be correct. The force of static friction. Because the object moves in the direction of vector sum of all forces.

    Tap for spoiler

    (In the example with fridge the static friction force cancels all other forces up to certain value and after that - motion)

    And adding microscopic attraction force towards the ball absolutely doesn’t change the full vector sum of forces, that are applied to Earth constantly (which is probably pointed towards the sun).
