An apple weighs 1 N. The net force on the apple when it is in free fall is a
ON.
O ОО
b
0.1 N.
C с
1 N.
d
9.8 N.
e
none of the above

F = 1 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The weight of an Apple, W = 1 N

We need to find the net force acting on the apple when it is in free fall. We know that, the force acting on an object under free fall is equal to its weight. So,

F = W = 1 N

Hence, the net force acting on the Apple is 1 N.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
