Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the force that pulls a ball to the ground after being dropped?
A
friction
B
air resistance
C
gravity
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a ball is thrown upwards, it falls to the ground because of gravitational force. Gravitational force is a pull that is exerted by the earth on all objects on it. Q.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weight measures the force of gravity pulling downward on an object. The SI unit for weight, like other forces, is the Newton (N). On Earth, a mass of 1 kilogram has a weight of about 10 Newtons because of the pull of Earth’s gravity.

Detailed explanation-3: -You are giving the ball potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy gained by an object as its height above ground level increases. As the ball falls towards the ground, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -This force is called the force of gravity, or just gravity. This is an attractive force. The force of gravity acts on all objects.
