Question
A ball is thrown up into the air. At the highest point in its trajectory, the net force acting on it isGroup of answer choicesgreater than its weight.less than its weight, but not zero N.Cannot be determined without additional information.equal to its weight.zero N.
Solution
The net force acting on the ball at the highest point in its trajectory is equal to its weight. This is because the only force acting on the ball at this point is gravity, which pulls it downwards. The ball's upward velocity is zero at the highest point, but the force of gravity is still acting on it. Therefore, the net force is not zero, but equal to the weight of the ball.
