Question
- choose the best answer. a ball thrown into the air will eventually fall back to the ground because the —— of the earths gravity becomes greater than the force imparted by your hand. acceleration friction unbalanced force balanced force
Brief Explanations
When a ball is thrown into the air, it eventually falls back due to the unbalanced force of gravity. Gravity acts as a constant downward - pulling force on the ball. Once the initial upward force from the throw is overcome by gravity, the ball starts to descend. Balanced forces would result in no change of motion, friction is a force that opposes motion but is not the main reason for the ball falling back here, and acceleration is the result of the unbalanced force (gravity) acting on the ball.
