When you hold it at rest the net force is zero. When you release it the net force ,and only force, (neglecting air resistance) on it is gravity ,which is its weight of 1 N.

At rest, the net force would be zero, because there is no acceleration.

Since the apple is at rest, the net force on it is zero.

Since there is a downward force of 1 N due to gravitation, the upward force provided by my hand
must also be 1 N.

it depends on how high up the apple was to begin with

PotentialEnergy= Mass * Gravity * Hieght

so in this case 1N * Height

At rest, the net force would be zero, because there is no acceleration. When it is released, the net force would be its mass in kg x the acceleration due to gravity, -9.8 m/s2.

Why is force unbalanced when an apple is on a tree?

It's not. If the forces on an apple were unbalanced, then the apple would accelerate. As long as the apple is on the tree, the downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward tension in the stem. When the upward tension in the stem goes away, the forces are no longer balanced, and the apple accelerates in the direction of the remaining unbalanced net force. It continues accelerating in that direction until it hits the ground, whereupon the ground begins to provide an upward normal constraint force, which once again balances the force of gravity, and the acceleration ceases. All of this takes place without the slightest awareness on the part of the apple.


Why does a ball bounce back upon a falling?

Because when it falls with a speed of let's say 10 mph, It hits the ground, and upon impact the ground takes the kinetic force/momentum/scientific thingamabob and returns it with the same force, and that causes the ball to bounce back. Like if you hit your head off a wall, it hurts because the wall bounces back the force that you hit your head off with back to your head.


What is a practical example of gravity acting on an object?

A practical example of gravity acting on an object is a ball being thrown into the air. The ball has gravity acting on it, pulling it down toward the ground. The ball eventually comes back down to the ground because of the force of gravity.


When you hold an apple over your head identify all the forces acting on the apple and their reaction forces?

As its distance from the earths mass centre alters very little during the fall, the force between it and the earth essentially remains the same. During the fall the earth and the apple accelerate toward each other. acceleration = force / mass, so the earths acceleration is incredibly small and the distance moved also.


A fruit detached from the plant falls to the ground due to the force of gravity Name the objects interacting in this case due to which the force arises?

The objects that are interacting are the fruit and the Earth.

When you throw an apple and a leaf on the ground the apple falls first Why?

The leaf does not fall straight down. It falls slowly because of air resistance. The air provides upward force. The upward force on the apple is negligible.

Gravity is the force that pulls you to the ground. Example: When we throw an apple it falls down because of gravity.

How do you find the strength and direction of the net force on an apple weighing 2n neglecting air resistance when the apple held in the hand falls to the ground and when the apple moves upward?

Apple held in hand. According to Newton's First Law, It is at rest, thus there is no net force. srength of resultant force = 0N Apple falling to the ground. According to Newton's Second law, The object will accelerate in the direction of force applied. Hence its downwards. Strength of resultant force = 2N Apple moving upwards. According to Newtons Second law, (same as above) upwards. Strength undefined.


What is the force on the ground of a 12kg acorn falling from a tree?

The impact force depends upon the height from which it has fallen (IE- its velocity upon impact), and the duration of impact (determined by the elasticity of the collision). However, the object exerts no force upon the ground *while* falling.


What is the force of an object right as it smacks into the ground?

the term is impact


What is the gravitational attraction of apple on the earth when it falls on earth?

the gravitational attraction of apple is sun.


Why does the apple fall on the earth and not vice versa?

The apple falls on the earth because of gravity. It is the force that causes two particles to pull towards each other.

Is the gravity value positive or negative when an object falls on the ground?

The force of gravity is positive; there is no negative gravity.


When a book falls from the shelf to the ground without anyone pushing on it no work is done on the book true or false?

True. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. Since there is no force acting on the book as it falls, no work is done on the book.
