What forces are acting on the Mass a mass is hanging from a spring?
A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.
A mass is hanging from a spring what forces are acting on the mass?
I do believe that it is either kinetic or potential energy. From jellyfish
Which force balances gravity on a rock on a hill?
friction
Are the forces of a light bulb balanced or unbalanced?
A light hanging from the ceiling does not move because the force of gravity pulling down on the light is balanced by the force of tension in the cord pulling upward
Gravity is one of how many basic forces?
There are four fundamental or basic forces, including the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and gravity.
What forces are acting on the Mass a mass is hanging from a spring?
A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.
What forces act on a picture hanging on a wall cause it to fall?
The force of gravity, weight = mg.
Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the force of gravity?
The force on you, if you are stationary, exactly balances gravity.

What forces are acting on a hanging pen?
When a pen is hanging, two forces act on it - the upthrust and the force of tension in the string.
How gravity affects forces?
Gravity is a force

Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the downward pull of gravity?
The force on you, if you are stationary, exactly balances gravity.
If a gymnast is hanging from a stationary high bar how many forces are acting on her?
Two, The Force of Gravity and The Normal Force (the force that the gymnast exerts on the bar) They ask you this to confuse you into thinking her arms count as a tension force, but they do not.
What is a balances force?
Balanced forces add up to a net force of zero.
What are forces of influence?
The forces are the weak force, the strong force, electromagnetism, and gravity.
