What is the size of the force pulling the apple down compared with the size of the force pushing it up?
Force down = mass (kg) * acceleration due to gravity (about 9.82 (m/s)/s) Force up due to motion through the air (drag) = velocity 2 * drag coefficient (forces in newtons) (velocity in metres per second)
What is the name of the force that is pulling you down when you stand on a set of bathroom scales?
Gravity . . . pulling you down. The scale . . . pushing you up. If these two forces were not equal, then there would be a net force on the bottom of your feet, either upward or downward, and you would be accelerating.
A stack of books is pulling downward on the table what force is pulling down on it?
Gravity, which force will equal the weight of the books
When gravity is pulling you downward when you sit is this balanced or unbalance force?
Force equals mass times acceleration, if you are sitting at rest you are not accelerating, so your acceleration is zero. The force is your mass times zero, 75 kg x 0 ms-2= 0 newtons. If the force is zero, this means the force of gravity pulling you down is cancelled out by the force of the chair pushing you up. So the forces are balanced.
Two forces are acting on a wheelbarrow. One force is pushing to the right and an equal force is pushing to the left. What can you say about the wheelbarrow's movement A) It is slowing down. B) It is n?
it slow down between force.

Does an object speed up if the forces acting on it are uneven?
it could speed up or slow down, it depends which force is bigger and which direction the force is pushing/pulling etc.
How do hangliders fly if gravity is pulling against it?
Basically for the same reason that we don't sink into the Earth, despite gravity pulling us down. There is another force pushing us up - and there is another force pushing the hang glider up. In the case of the hang glider, the push is provided by the air.
Why does no one understand that gravity is pushing us down and not pulling us down?
Because you are an uneducated buffoon, who will never accept the fact that it is PULLING US down. It is in no way pushing us. There is no logic in it pushing us down, and the laws of Physics say that it is pulling us down. I am a Professor in MIT. Don't try and act oversmart.
What are the 2 forces involved in sinking and floating?
Gravity is pulling down, and Buoyancy is pushing up. When the force of gravity is greater than the buoyant force, objects sink. When the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity, objects float.
What is the result when the force pushing up on an immersed object is greater than the force pushing it down?
The object floats
What is of the force pulling the bucket down?
Gravity.

When a book falls from a shelf to the ground without anyone pushing it Is work is being done on the book?
Work is being done by the force of gravity. When the book falls to the floor, there's a force on it, and the force keeps acting on it as it covers the distance. A force acting through a distance is the definition of work. Maybe there's nobody pushing the book, but the force of gravity is pulling it down, and it's the force of gravity that does the work on the book.
