Question

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field? Check all that apply.
chairs floating in midair

apples falling from trees

people's feet touching the ground

sky divers moving toward the ground

balls bending downward after being thrown​

Answer 1

Answer:

• apples falling from trees
• people's feet touching the ground
• sky divers moving toward the ground  
• balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
