A constant downward force from gravity, along with a steadily decreasing upward force from the thrower. b. A steadily decreasing upward force from the thrower on the way up, then a nearly constant force from gravity on the way down. c. A downward force of gravity that decreases substantially as the ball gains height, then increases substantially as the ball falls back downward. d. A steadily decreasing upward force from the thrower on the way up, then a steadily increasing force from gravity on the way down. e. A nearly constant downward force of gravity.arrow_forwardA ball on a string moves around a complete circle, once a second, on a frictionless, horizontal table.

A. 1.5 N B. 3.0 N C. 12 N D. 24 Narrow_forwardEquilibrium is when net force acts on an object is zero. Following are the examples of equilibrium. Choose all that apply. A. A car is going around a curve with 15mph. B. A car going on cruise control on highway. C. A 10 N of force acts on a box on right and a 10 N of force acts on the same box on left. D.

- Astronauts in orbit feel weightlessness because, choose all that apply. A. astronauts in orbit are without support force. B. Because of absence of gravity in orbit. C. astronauts in orbit are in a state of continuous free fall. D. Orbits are designed like that so that there is no force.arrow_forwarda. An object that is free-falling is acted upon by the force of gravity alone. b. A falling skydiver which has reached terminal velocity is considered to be in a state offree fall. c. A ball is thrown upwards and is rising towards its peak. As it rises upwards, it is NOT considered to be in a state offree fall d. An object in free fall experiences an acceleration which is independent of the mass of the object. e. A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. As the ball rises, its acceleration is upwards; as it falls, its acceleration is downwards. f. A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. The speed at which it is launched equals the speed at which it lands. (Assume negligible air resistance.) g. A very massive object will free fall at the same rate of acceleration as a less massive object.arrow_forwardWhy a ball rolling across the floor does slows to a stop? a.
