The answer is "friction and air resistance" gravity does some of the work by keeping the object from floating away, but friction and air resistance does the biggest part. Friction is how rough the ground it meaning on tile, dirt, grass, etc... that would slow down the object and air resistance is the gravity pushing on the object also making it stop.
Hope this helps!

E = mass x gravity x height
Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the rocket = 10 kg
Weight of the Rocket = 100 N
Upward thrust applied by the rocket = 400 N
<u>Net upward force on the rocket:</u>
We are given that gravity pulls the rocket with a force of 100 N
Also, the rocket applied a force of 400N against gravity
Net upward force = Upward thrust - Force applied by gravity
Net upward force = 400 - 100
Net upward force = 300 N
<u>Upward Acceleration of the Rocket:</u>
From newton's second law:
F = ma

300 = 10 * a
a = 30 m/s²
