A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box with an upward arrow. Diagram C shows a box with a downward and upward arrow equal in size. Diagram D shows a box with a downward and upward arrow with the downward arrow larger in size. Which force diagram represents the forces on the ball? You may neglect the effects of air resistance.

Pedro Hebert · Answer 1

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow.
