A 10kg brick and a 1kg book are dropped in a vacuum the force of gravity on the 10-kg brick is?

If this is being conducted in Earth's gravity well, then 32 feet per second per second will be the rate of acceleration towards the surface. It won't stay vacuum for long, though.

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.
What force causes something to fall straight to the when it is dropped?
Gravity.
Which is the force that pulls a ball to the ground after being dropped?
Gravity.
If a 10kg brick and a 1kg book are dropped in a vacuum what is the force of gravity on the 10kg brick?
It depends where the vaccum is (i.e. gravity depends on the interaction of local masses in space). The force of gravity is not affected by the presence or lack of air, thus a vacuum is inconsequential to the answer. Not to mention, why even add the detail of the 1kg book if it never comes up again. Please formulate a serious question. The answer is as simple as plugging in the corresponding local masses (or those you care about) into: Force = (G*M1*M2)/r^2 G being the gravitational constant M1 being mass 1 M2 being mass 2 r being the distance between the center of masses of mass 1 and mass 2 Go to high school, kthx.
When things are dropped or thrown they fall to Earth because of gravity. What kind of force does gravity have on things?
It has an attractive force somewhat similar to a magnet and metal. But, the force (acceleration) of gravity is still not understood.

What force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum?
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.
Is gravity force a contact force?
No - gravity acts across the vacuum of space - this is how the moon affects our tides.

Gravity.

When a ball is dropped it falls due to the force of friction?
No, it falls because of gravity.
WHEN A BALL IS DRoPPED FROM A height its speed increases why?
Acceleration due to the force of gravity.
A metal box is attached to a small parachutes dropped by a helicopterexplain in terms of force why its velocity increases immediately after being dropped?
Because the resultant force is downwards (because force of air resistance<gravity when dropped) and will accelerate at 9.8m/s2
A force other than gravity that causes a body in motion to stop is called?
Gravity does not cause a body in motion to stop.This can be accomplished either by friction or by a brick wall.
When an object ids dropped from a height it accelerates when it fall down name the force which accelerates the object?
That is called gravity.
