Question

1. which forces would be drawn on a free body diagram for the apple sitting on the table below? gravity, normal force, and friction gravity and normal force gravity, applied force, and normal force applied force and gravity

Explanation:

When an apple is sitting on a table, the forces acting on it are gravity (pulling it downwards) and the normal force (the table pushing it upwards). There is no applied force (no external force is pushing or pulling the apple horizontally or vertically other than gravity and the table's reaction). Also, since the apple is at rest and there is no tendency to slide (no horizontal force trying to move it), there is no friction.

Answer:

gravity and normal force
