Jasmine is trying to hang a new clock in her apartment. The clock experiences a force due to the gravity of 15N. She has a stick on a hook that exerts an upward force of 10N. Are the forces on her clock balanced or unbalanced and what will happen to the clock?

The forces are unbalanced

Explanation:

Since the force of the clock is heavier that the force of the stick on a hook, the clock will fall to the ground because the clock weighs more. I hope this helps!!!   ;)

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

conservation of mass

mass before something happens = mass afterwards
