What force is responsible for the downward motion of falling fruits?

potential energyGravity.


What Is the motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity.?

downward motion


What force opposes the downward motion of falling object?

Air resistance


In what way is the motion of a freely falling object different from the motion of the cart?

motion of free falling object does not have friction, while motion of the cart has force of friction


When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?

No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.


What direction of the resultant force on the falling toy?

The resultant force on a falling toy is downward. It is the weight of the toy minus any air resistance, which for short distances is negligible.


What type of motion is in spinning top?

well the motion is round and round but the force that stops it falling over is centrifugal force :)


What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistence matches exactly the downward force of gravity?

terminal velocity


What is the net force that acts on a 10- freely falling object?

Ten newtons downward, by definition.


Why is going downstairs negative work?

As you walk down the stairs, you apply a force to keep yourself from falling down the stairs. The force is in the upward direction, but your movement is in the downward direction. If the force is in the opposite direction of motion, work done by the force is negative. Gravitational force, because it pulls down, does positive work.


What force is responsible for a football falling back to the ground?

How equation of motion are modified for freely falling objects?

The equation of motion is not modified. Net force = mass x acceleration, whether freely falling or not.
