mallory throws a ball straight up into the air. it rises for a period of time and then begins to drop. at which points in the balls journey will gravity be the greatest force acting on the ball? the ball is out of mallorys hand the ball reaches its maximum height the ball falls down the ball rests on the ground
Gravity acts on the ball throughout its flight (after release). When out of the hand, at max height, or falling, no other forces (e.g., thrower's force, normal force) are present. When resting, normal force opposes gravity.
