Question

2 select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. amy throws a softball through the air. what are the different forces acting on the ball while it’s in the air? the softball experiences dropdown force as a result of amy’s throw. as the ball moves, it experiences dropdown from the air (text cut: passes through likely as it passes through). it also experiences a downward pull because of dropdown.

Explanation:

1. When Amy throws the softball, the initial force imparted is a push (or applied) force from her throw, giving the ball its initial motion.
2. As the ball moves through the air, it experiences air resistance (drag) which opposes its motion through the air.
3. The downward pull on the ball is due to gravity (Earth's gravitational force), which acts vertically downward on all objects near the Earth's surface.

Answer:

First drop - down: A push (or applied)
Second drop - down: Air resistance (or drag)
Third drop - down: Gravity (or Earth's gravitational force)
