Question

Statement II: You are applying gravitational force on your teacher who is standing beside you
(A) Only I
(B) Only II
(C) Both I and II
(D) None​

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) None

Explanation:

The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.

Examples of this force at work are;

• The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
• The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
• The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating

The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.
