What type of force does an apple falling from a tree show?
gravity
When an apple falls from a tree it accelerates towards the ground. Why? In response to this question most people reply ‘gravity’. The idea of an apple falling to the ground is often associated with Newton.
Which is an example of a periodic motion a apple falling from a tree b motion of a car on road C a spinning top d both A and B?
Apple falling from a tree and motion of a car on road are the examples of rectilinear motion. Which is an example of a periodic motion? Explanation: Oscillation of a pendulum is an example of periodic motion.
Does an apple fall down from a tree shows uniform or nonuniform motion?
Answer: Apple falling down from a tree shows non-uniform motion. Explanation: When an apple falls form tree, it falls with increasing velocity because here an apple is a free falling body and acceleration due to gravity acted upon it.
Which motion is executed by a fruit falling from a tree branch?
Answer: Fruits falling freely is the example of motion under gravity.
What change could cause an apple hanging from a tree branch to fall?
An apple hanging from a tree or a skydiver falling at their terminal velocity are also both examples of Newton’s First Law. In the case of the apple the force of gravity downwards balances the force of the stalk upwards and so there is no unbalanced force acting on the apple – it therefore stays where it is.
Is an apple falling from a tree contact force?
Apple falling from a tree is a non contact force as there is no contact in this force and the apple falls down due to gravity which involves no contact.
What causes an apple to fall from a tree?
Apples start dropping off the tree before they are ripe or even fully grown. Often the flesh has softened and is less tasty than normal. There are many factors that can trigger early fruit drop: excessive fruit load, excessive summer pruning, insect damage, diseases and extremes in weather.
