Question

Palak dropped a ball from the first floor of her house and the ball fell down to the

ground. This is due to gravity. Which of these describes gravity?

a) It is the speed of the ball towards the earth

b) It is the magnetic pull exerted towards the ball by the earth

c) It is the pull exerted by the earth due to the mass of the ball

d) It is the air resistance against the fall of the ball towards the earth​

Answer 1

Answer:

c) It is the pull exerted by the earth due to the mass of the ball.

Explanation:

When Palak dropped the ball, it fell down to the ground. This happens due to the gravitational pull by Earth.

As we know the gravitational force of attraction between any two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. Since the ball is having a certain mass, the gravitational force acting will be having a nonzero magnitude.

As we know the force due to gravity is always attractive in nature. So Earth will attract the object towards itself. As a result the ball will fell down to the ground from first floor.
