A boy holds an apple as shown.
Why doesn’t gravity cause the apple to fall to the ground?
A. The force of his hand pushed up on the apple with greater magnitude than the force of gravity which pulls down on the apple. The two forces are balanced so the apple doesn’t fall
B. The force of his hand pushed up on the apple with equal magnitude to the force of gravity which pulls down on the apple. The two forces are unbalanced so the apple doesn’t fall
C. The force of his hand pushed up on the apple with greater magnitude than the force of gravity which pulls down on the apple. The two forces are unbalanced so the apple doesn’t fall
D. The force of his hand pushed up on the apple with equal magnitude to the force of gravity which pulls down on the apple. The two forces are balanced so the apple doesn’t fall
