The downward force exerted by an object?
The downward force exerted on an object is caused by gravity (from the Earth). This force is called weight and can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (about 9.8).
When a mass suspended from a spring is in its equilibrium position the upward force exerted by the spring is equal to the downward force exerted by gravity acting on the mass?
Yes true
When you throw a ball up why does the vertical component undergo change?
Because there's a constant downward vertical force on the ball, so it must accelerate downward. If you give it an initial upward velocity, the magnitude of that upward velocity must steadily decrease, and it must eventually dwindle to zero and then become downward velocity. The constant downward vertical force on the ball is the force of attraction between the mass of the ball and the mass of the Earth, caused by gravity.
Does Earth exert a upward or downward force on your body?
Earth exerts a downward (towards the ground or Earth) force on your body. At the same time, your body exerts an upward (towards your body) force on the Earth. Your body is the one that seems to move, however, because the mass of your body is so much less than the mass of the Earth.
What The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of?
If we neglect the effect of air resistance, an object is accelerating toward the ground at 9.8 m/s^2. When you determine an object's weight, you multiply its mass by this number. My point is that weight is the downward force on an object.
Is the downward cutting force of ice in a glacier a function of volume?
no. the downward cutting force of ice in a glacier is a function of MASS :) and its forsure i got it out of the science book!

What force acts as the centripetal force for a plane?
Basically the (powered) wings surf the air, creating a lifting force = downward force of (mass (kg) * acceleration due to gravity).

A weight reading on a scale shows is the upward force or downward force oexerted by the scale?
downward force
Why is there an upward force on objects in water?
Force = mass X acceleration = mass X change in velocity If there was no force pointing upward, the only force acting on the object would be gravity, and it points down. From the equations above it should be easy to see that if the only force acting on an object was pointing downward, the object would move downward, and if the force was gravity, it would fall downwards through water similar to how it would in air.
Definition of mass and definition of weight?
Mass: The measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a force is applied.Weight: A body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
What is the downward force of a human arm?
Force equals mass times acceleration, so you need to know those two variables before that question can be answered.
Does the speed of free fall affected by the density of the object?
No. When an object is in free fall it has a downward force (it's mass) and an opposite, upward force of air resistance.
