Gravity acts more strongly on the object.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When an object is dropped from a height, it reaches the ground despite friction acting on it because the force of gravity acting on it is stronger than the air resistance and friction. Air resistance and friction acts upward and prevents the ball from falling. However, it is negligible. The gravity acting on the object is so strong that it pulls the object towards earth with a constant acceleration called as acceleration due to gravity which has a constant value of 9.8m/s².

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Answer:

The height is 3.1m

Explanation:

Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

$E_e=\frac{1}{2}K*x^2\\E_e=\frac{1}{2}18N/m*(9.5*10^{-2}m)^2\\E_e=0.081J$
