I wasn't there, so I have no knowledge of how things were set up in that particular
experiment. The only force I'm sure of is the force of gravity, and your use of the
term "dropped" seems to confirm that assumption.

What does it mean to sat that the net force determines an objects acceleration?
There are many forces acting on a body. But, the moves because of the net force acting on it. So, we can say that the body accelerates because of net force acting on it only.
What is the force exerted by the object you are trying to move?
Its a reaction force, and is equal and opposite to your force, only it is acting on different objects, so the force is still unbalanced.
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
What happens when identical objects are dropped on planets with different gravitational conditions?
Without the interference of air or any other force, they should fall at the same speed. All objects accelerate at the same rate regarding their masses. To conclude, If this was made in a vacuum they should fall at the same speed but in different conditions it may have different results due to air resistance.
What happens when a hollow plastic ball and a sollid metal ball is dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force?
When a hollow plastic ball and a solid metal ball is a dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force acting on the balls the balls will fall at the same rate. Being that this is a prediction answer may vary.
Why do objects accelerate on ramps?
Objects will accelerate if there is a net force acting on them.
What word is An object that has an unbalanced force acting on it will accelerate in the direction of that force?
A Vacuum.
A force acting on an object does no work if?
the force is not in the direction of the objects motion.
What is a force acting between two objects?
gravity
What is a common unbalanced force acting on objects in motion?
Friction
What direction do objects moves when a force like push is applied?
It moves in the direction of the force acting on it.
When an objects motion changes you know that the forces acting on it are?
Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.
What is the major force acting on all objects in the universe?
nuclear force,gravitational force,magnetic force and adhesive and cohesive force
Objects at rest or in uniform motion have what acting on them?
zero net force
Objects moving at a constant speed in a straight are said to be in?
Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.
What two factors affect the gravitational force acting between two objects?
The masses of the two objects and the distance between the two objects affect the gravitational force between them.
