Take an example of earth and apple, they attract each other with equal forces, let us say F but we see apple falling down but we don’t see earth going up. Now, which one will move faster, it depends on acceleration and acceleration is given by a = F/M where M is the mass of the object . Mass of earth is very high 6*10^24 kg. Due to this heavy mass, acceleration of earth would be like 0.00000000(something) which is practically zero. As far as Apple is concerned, its mass is very less and so acceleration is significant and it is 9.8 m/s2. I hope that satisfies your question. Thanks
