Why Is No Gravity Always Acting On An Object

Dominique Vickers Quantitative Questions Chapter 4 3. No, gravity is always acting on an object. Also, if the object is moving at a constant velocity then friction would also be acting on it. 5. If only one force acts on an object, then the net force could not be zero, which would cause the object to be have an acceleration and the velocity could not be zero. 6. A) yes, if no forces acted on the ball it would not move B) the pavement because the normal force from the pavement causes an equal force on the ball, which makes it bounce. C) Greater, the ball is moving with more force towards the pavement which would cause the normal force to be higher. 8. The force that is applied to the desk or wall from your foot has an equal force applied to your foot (Newton’s second law) …show more content…

It would collapse because extra weight would push down on the box as you pushed yourself upwards, and the extra force would be too much for the box. 13. The string would break on the bottom because the tension on the bottom exerted from pulling it would be greater than the tension on the top because it does not have enough time to transfer. 16. The acceleration decreases because if the force is viewed like a triangle (with the diagonal string as the hypotenuse) then the horizontal side has a smaller force. This does change the normal force because the rope is pulling upwards. 19. An apple 24. When the rope is pulled the tension increases, which makes the force increase. It is not possible to prevent the bag from sagging because gravity will always pull the bag down. Extra Problems 1. No, a single force would prevent the net force from being zero, which would require the acceleration to exist. With acceleration, the speed would constantly increase. 2. Tension needs to be greater than the weight for acceleration to be in the correct
