Gravity is a force that pulls objects down towards earths surface. Which two statements explain why a student standing at the top of the step stool does not move downward? PLEASEE HELP

intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

there are two kinds of van der waals forces: weak london dispersion forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.

in molecule of water there are dipole-dipole forces between negatively charged oxygen from one molecule of water and positively charger hydrogen of another molecule of water.

hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (h), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (f), oxygen (o) and nitrogen (n) atoms.  

answer;

18.5 seconds

explanation;

velocity is distance covered per unit time; it is given by displacement divided by time.

thus; time = displacement/velocity

total time = total displacement/velocity

total distance = 5000 meters south

total time = 5000/4.5

                  = 1111.11 seconds

but; 1 minute = 60 sec

thus; 1111.11 /60

                = 18.51 seconds

thus; the time taken is 18.5 seconds

observation, evidence
