The equilibrium condition allows finding the correct answer for the force that is resisting the weight of the apple is:

        3. Normal force

Newton's second law gives the relationship between <em>force, mass</em> and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is called the equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a scheme of the forces.

Let's write the equilibrium condition for the apple

          N - W = 0

          N = W

.

We can see that the only forces acting on the apple are its weights and reaction from the table called Normal.

Let's analyze the different answers:

1. False. The apple is not moving therefore the resistance is zero

2. False. The apple is not moving  so friction it with the table is  

3. True. The free-body diagram shows that the normal and the weight are equal

4. False. There is nothing to pull the apple so there is no tension

5. False. Gravity is the weight of the apple that is applied to the table, not from the table to the apple.

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the correct result for the force that is resisting the weight of the apple is:

        3. Normal force

In what order does light pass through structures of the eye? lens, cornea, retina cornea, pupil, lens pupil, iris, lens pupil, c
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.

Explanation:

When light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea (the transparent outer covering of the eye), you can then see that object. The cornea bends, or refracts, the rays that pass through the round hole of the pupil.

action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction then why do they not balance each other.​
NeX [460]

Answer:

Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don’t cancel each other out.

Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy _____.
Mariulka [41]
Hello.

The answer is <span>remains the same.

</span>The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. <span>So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.

In what direction is the weight vector always drawn?​
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Yo sup??

The weight vector is usually drawn vertically downwards from the centre of the body.

It can be respectively resolved as well.
