Question

The force of gravity acts on all apples on an apple tree. Some apples are twice as far from the ground as others. For the same mass these twice-as-high apples have _________.a) 1/4 weightb) 1/2 weightc) paractically the same weight

Answer 1

Answer:

c) paractically the same weight

Explanation:

The force of gravity acts on all apples on an apple tree. Some apples are twice as far from the ground as others. For the same mass these twice-as-high apples have _________.a) 1/4 weightb) 1/2 weightc) paractically the same weigh

from newton's law of motion

states that

the rate of  change in momentum of  a body is directly proportional to the force applied on the body

f$\alpha$=mdv/dt

dv/dt=a

f=kma

f=ma, where k is constant and equal to 1

a=g since the body is falling under gravity

acceleration of the apples become acceleration due to gravity

W=mg

since they all have equal mass, then the weight on the body will be practically and obviously  the same
