Question

Which of the following is a practical example of gravity acting on an object?
O
A. A seagull drops a clam while flying over a beach.
O
B. Wind blows through the trees.
O
C. A group of children play tug of war.
O
D. A car sits at rest at a stop light.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Option A is the correct i-e A seagull drops a clam while flying over a beach. As we need the example of gravity. Gravity is that force due to which everything is attracted towards the center of the Earth.All other examples are not descrobing the force of gravity clearly by its definatin thats why A is the most suitable.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A. A seagull drops a clam while flying over a beach is a practical example of gravity acting on an object.

Explanation:

The force that attracts two bodies or objects towards each other is gravity or gravitational force. Here, the seagull is dropping a clam during its flight this is one of the example of the phenomenon of gravitational force. The clam falls from the height over the beach with a vertical velocity, accelerated by the gravitational force.

• Gravity on Earth is $9.807 \ m/s^2$

• The formula for gravity is $\bold {F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}}$
