Question

analyze the forces that are acting on the airplane as seen on the right. all of the following are examples of gravity being exerted on objects of different masses, except: an airplane flying through the air a person diving off a diving board the sun someone riding a bike

Explanation:

Gravity is a force that acts on all objects with mass. The Sun has its own gravitational field, a person diving off a diving - board is pulled down by gravity, and someone riding a bike experiences the force of gravity pressing them towards the ground. An airplane flying through the air is kept aloft by aerodynamic forces (lift) which counteract the force of gravity, but gravity still acts on it. However, the question asks for an example that is not an "example of gravity being exerted on objects of different masses". All the options have gravity acting on them, but the Sun is a celestial body and not an "object" in the same sense as the others in terms of the context of this question about everyday - scale objects experiencing gravity.

Answer:

C. the Sun
