Question

A girl picks up a bag of apples that are at rest on the floor. How does the force the girl applies compare to the force of gravity acting on apples?

Answer 1

Answer:

When the bag of apples are on the floor, the force of gravity is equal to the force applied in the upward direction. But when the girl picks up the bag of apples, she applies a force on the bag of apples in the upward direction greater than that of the gravitational force.

Explanation:

Answer 2

• When the bag of apples is on the floor, the force of gravity is equal to the force that is applied in the upward direction.
• But when the girl picks up the bag of apples, she applies a force on the bag of apples in an upward direction that is greater than that of the gravitational force.
• The gravitational force is the universal force of attraction, which is acting between objects.
• It is considered one of the fundamental forces of the universe.

• Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation describes gravitational force as a force that exists between any two objects with a certain mass.
• Everybody in this nature, irrespective of size and mass, applies a certain amount of gravitational force on the objects around it.

• Actually, everybody experiences some force, pulling it downwards, towards the earth. It is its own weight.
• On earth acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s^2. It is nearly constant everywhere on earth approximately.
• So, the gravitational pull on an object either going up or coming down will be equal.
• It is “acceleration due to gravity”, which accelerates or increases the velocity of a falling object at every instant.
• But for a body, the acceleration due to gravity will be negative but of the same magnitude.
