Question

motion in two dimensions quick check
why does the speed of an object thrown straight up into the air begin to decrease after it is thrown? (1 point)
the thrown object eventually runs out of force.
the force of gravity makes it accelerate in a downward direction.
no more force acts on it after it is thrown.
the object is not accelerating.

Explanation:

Gravity is a force that acts on objects near the Earth's surface, pulling them downward. When an object is thrown up, gravity acts against its upward - motion, causing it to decelerate.

Answer:

The force of gravity makes it accelerate in a downward direction.
