A ball is dropped from the top of a building. The gravitational force is 10 N down, and the force of air resistance is 1 N up. What is the net force?
9 Nup
9 N down
11 Nup
11 N down

Respuesta :

Answer:

9N down

Explanation:

The net force on the ball dropped has a magnitude of 9N and it is directed downward.

Given;

  Gravitational force  = 10N down

  Air resistance = 1N up

Air resistance is an opposite force that acts against a body passing through air. It is a negative force.

Gravitational force is a force acting on a body due to gravitational attraction of the earth.

 Net force  = Gravitational force down - Air resistance up

                   = 10N - 1 N

                   = 9N down

The net force is 9N downward.
