Question

These three crates are all 1 m off the ground. Which statement about the force of the Earth's gravity pulling on the crates is true?

Answer 1

• So, if the carats are placed at 1 m above the ground and there is a force,f of gravity,g present to pull the very object to itself then we can say that each of crate must have a specific mass, m which tends the body to be pulled towards the surface of the earth. And that force,F of the gravity happens to be around 9.8 m/sec² in total. As, each body requires these set of information in order to evaluate its total amount of potential energy,P.E in it.

• P.E=m×g×h.

Answer 2

The formula for the force of the Earth's gravity is
F = mg
where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity
The value of g is a constant, therefore, the only value that would differ among the three crates is the mass. The greater the mass, the greater is the force of the pull of the gravity.
