A ball is dropped from the top of a building. The gravitational force is 10 N down, and the force of air resistance is 1 N up. What is the net force? 9 N up 9 N down 11 N up 11 N down

Respuesta :

Answer:

Net force, F' = 9 N (down)

Explanation:

It is given that, a ball is dropped from the top of a building.

The gravitational force acting on the ball, F = 10 N (down)

The air resistance acting on the ball, f = 1 N (up)

We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the ball. The net force is given by :

[tex]F'=F-f[/tex]

[tex]F'=10-1[/tex]

F' = 9 N

So, the net force acting on the ball is 9 N in downward direction. Hence, this is the required solution.                            

The net force on the object is 9N down.

The given parameters;

gravitational force, Fg = 10 N

force of air resistance, Fr = 1 N

The net force on an object is defined as the change in the total force on the object.

Assuming the downward motion = positive direction

the downward motion = air resistance = negative direction

The net force on the object is calculated as follows;

[tex]\Sigma F_{net} = F_{down} - F_{up}\\\\\Sigma F_{net} = 10 N - 1 N\\\\\Sigma F_{net} = 9\ N \ down[/tex]

Thus, the net force on the object is 9N down.
