Actually its not! Its the weight! Were doing a homeowork on physics my physicsa teacher sed it was weight not gravity

Why velocity is non zero when ball dropped to the ground?
The initial velocity of a dropped ball is zero in the y (up-down) direction. After it is dropped gravity causes an acceleration, which causes the velocity to increase. F = ma, The acceleration due to gravity creates a force on the mass of the ball.
Why an arrow shot horizontally and an arrow dropped straight down from the same height will hit the ground at the same time?
yes because they have the same gravitational potential
What type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from epic center?
p-wave
How does the path of the crate appear to somebody on the airplane and to someone on the ground when a crate is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at constant speed?
Person on the airplane: Crate will appear to be dropping straight down. Person on the ground: Crate will be curving in the direction the plane is moving.
Which is the force that pulls a ball to the ground after being dropped?
Gravity.
If you are travelling at X speed and fire something the opposite direction at X speed will it fall straight to the ground?
Yes, it will fall straight to the ground.

Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
2 balls dropped horizontally and vertically.Which ball strikes ground first why?
Please describe how you drop something 'horizontally'
Why an arrow shot horizontally and an arrow dropped straight down from the same height will hit the ground at the same time?
yes because they have the same gravitational potential

What is the torque required for a dc motor to move 5 tons?
No simple answer available, is it 5 ton on a railroad car sitting on its tracks, or 5 ton dropped straight down onto the ground?
When do you use the word it in as sentence?
I accidently dropped it on the ground!
