Answer:

3. a leaf falling off of a tree to the ground.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Force can be categorized into two (2) main types; forces that at a distance and forces the act by direct contact with the body.

A force that acts at a distance refers to the force exerted on a body or an object without any physical contact between them such as gravitational force, magnetic force and electric force. This simply means that, there can be a push or pull between objects even when they are not in physical contact with each other due to gravitational, magnetic or electric forces.

<em>Some example of a force that acts at a distance is a leaf falling off of a tree to the ground, a magnet pulling an object to itself, a magnet pushing or repelling another magnet etc. </em>

Deffense [45]

<span>Lafora disease is the most severe teenage-onset progressive epilepsy, a unique form of glycogenosis with perikaryal accumulation of an abnormal form of glycogen, and a neurodegenerative disorder exhibiting an unusual generalized organellar disintegration. The disease is caused by mutations of the EPM2A gene, which encodes two isoforms of the laforin protein tyrosine phosphatase, having alternate carboxyl termini, one localized in the cytoplasm (endoplasmic reticulum) and the other in the nucleus. To date, all documented disease mutations, including the knockout mouse model deletion, have been in the segment of the protein common to both isoforms. It is therefore not known whether dysfunction of the cytoplasmic, nuclear, or both isoforms leads to the disease. In the present work, we identify six novel mutations, one of which, c.950insT (Q319fs), is the first mutation specific to the cytoplasmic laforin isoform, implicating this isoform in disease pathogenesis. To confirm this mutation's deleterious effect on laforin, we studied the resultant protein's subcellular localization and function and show a drastic reduction in its phosphatase activity, despite maintenance of its location at the endoplasmic reticulum.
