The picture below is of Kerrick holding an apple in his hand.



Why does the force of gravity NOT pull the apple to the ground?
A.
The force of Kerrick’s hand pushing up on the apple is equal to the force of gravity pulling down on the apple. Since the forces are unbalanced, the apple does not move.


B.
The force of Kerrick's hand pushing up on the apple is greater than the force of gravity pulling down on the apple. Since the forces are balanced, the apple does not move.


C.
The force of Kerrick's hand pushing up on the apple is greater than the force of gravity pulling down on the apple. Since the forces are unbalanced, the apple does not move.


D.
The force of Kerrick’s hand pushing up on the apple is equal to the force of gravity pulling down on the apple. Since the forces are balanced, the apple does not move.

Answer:

the answer is D.

Explanation:

while A may look similar, it says the forces are unbalanced, which is not the case in this situation. If there is no change in the apple's motion, then it is a balanced force.
