Antonio is holding a 1-pound bag of apples in his left hand and a 2-pound bag of apples in his right hand. Which sentences about
this situation are true? The force caused by gravity is the same on each bag. Antonio is applying a 1-pound force to hold the 1-pound bag. Antonio must apply a greater force to hold the 1-pound bag than the 2-pound bag. The acceleration due to gravity is greater on the 2-pound bag. The mass of the bag in his left hand is less than the mass of the bag in his right hand.
<u>Antonio is applying a 1-pound force to hold the 1-pound bag.</u>
<u>The mass of the bag in his left hand is less than the mass of the bag in his right hand</u>
Explanation:
The amount of force required to lift an object depends on its weight. The force of gravity is the weight. It depends on mass of the body because acceleration due to gravity is same.
Antonio is holding a 1-pound bag of apples in his left hand and a 2-pound bag of apples in his right hand. It means he needs to exert 1-pound force to hold the 1-pound bag and 2-pound force to hold 2-pound bag.
The acceleration due to gravity is same = 9.8 m/s² near the surface of Earth. The mass of the bags must be different. 1-pound bag (left) has smaller mass than 2-pound bag (right)
The answers are The force caused by gravity is the same on each bag, Antonio is applying a 1-pound force to hold the 1-pound bag, <span>The mass of the bag in his left hand is less than the mass of the bag in his right hand.</span>
It should be the last one, but if you can pick more than one answer then I would do the first and last one but I’m confident that it would be the last one either way :) hopefully this is helpful
