forces

a family is moving from Pennsylvania to Connecticut during the summer. One of the movers tosses a small box to another mover across the room. the path of the box as it travels through the air will be curved downward due to__________

The force of gravity

if you were able to go to the top a a tall building and simultaneously drop an apple and a basketball, they would both hit the ground at the same instant because

The force of gravity on them is equal

what is an example of Newton's Second Law, F=MA

a wide receiver using his hands to stop and catch a football thrown by the quarterback at 20m/s

a teacher dropped one light ball and one heavy ball simultaneously from the roof of a school building. Both balls struck the ground at the same time. The students correctly concluded from this experiment that fall ing objects

accelerate at the same rate, regardless of mass, due to the force of gravity.

the moon has a smaller mass than the earth. if you were able to travel to the moon your weight would

decrease

both elephant and feather have the same force of gravity yet the acceleration of gravity is greatest for the elephant

false

on earth, all objects(whether an elephant or a feather) have the same force of gravity

false

the elephant and the feather each have the same force of gravity

false

the elephant clearly has more mass than the feather, yet the amount of gravity is the same for each.

false

the elephant clearly has more mass than the feather, yet they each weigh the same.

false

the elephant encounters a smaller force of air resistance than the feather and therefore falls faster

false

the elephant experiences a greater force of gravity, yet both the elephant and feather have the same mass.

false

the elephant has a greater acceleration of gravity than the feather and therefore falls faster.

false

the elephant has more mass, yet both elephant and feather experience the same force of gravity

false

the elephant has the greatest acceleration, yet the amount of gravity is the same for each.

false

the elephant weighs more than the feather, yet they each have the same mass

false

three cans, one empty, one half-empty, and one full of water, all fall from a wall at the same time. Which can will hit the ground first, assuming no air resistance?

All three will land at the same time

When people walked on the moon, they found that they could jump higher than they could back on earth. Why is this true.

The moon exerts less gravitational force that earth
