Question

If you stand on a chair and release a ball from your hand, it falls to the floor. What do you conclude from this?

Answer 1

• When we stand on a chair and release a ball from our hand, the ball falls down to the floor. This happens because the Earth exerts a force of attraction on the ball called gravity.
• We conclude that the Earth pulls all objects towards its centre due to gravitational force. This force makes objects fall towards the ground when they are released.
