Charlie throws a ball up into the air. while the ball is airborne, which is the greatest force acting on the ball to slow it down? applied force friction force gravitational force normal force

Gravitational force

Explanation:

When ball is thrown upwards then there will be two forces on the ball opposite to the motion of ball

1. Gravitational force (mg)

2. Air friction or air drag

Both forces are opposite to the motion of the ball and it will cause the decrease in the speed of the ball.

Now here due to less value of drag coefficient on the ball we will say that ball will decrease its speed more due to gravitational force compare to friction force of air.

so here correct answer would be

Gravitational force

1 a

2 b

3 b

4 d

5 d

6 d
