The free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.
When an object falls from up to the ground, the object falls under in the influence of acceleration due to gravity.
The vertical component of the force on the apple as it falls trough the air is given as;
∑Fy = 0
Fₙ - W = 0
Fₙ = W
where;
- <em>Fₙ is the frictional force on the apple acting upwards</em>
- <em>W is the weight of the apple acting downwards</em>
The free-body diagram of the apple is represented as follows;
↑ Fₙ
Ο
↓ W
Thus, the free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.
