Question
choose the correct answer. a force is a push or a pull. in this image, a potato and a stack of coins are not moving. do the coins and potato have forces acting on them? yes, the force of gravity is pulling on both the coins and the potato no, there are no forces pushing or pulling on the coins or the potato
Objects on Earth are always acted upon by gravity, which pulls them toward the Earth's center. Even if the coins and potato are not moving, gravity is still acting on them (and there are also normal forces balancing gravity to keep them stationary). So the first option is correct as it recognizes gravity acts on both.
