Question

A ball is moving upwards and to the left. The net forces acting on it are also upwards and to the left. Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A True (Choice B) B False (Choice C) C Not enough information

Answer 1

The statement that a ball moving upwards and to the left with net forces also acting upwards and to the left is True, as the net force determines the direction of acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ball is moving upwards and to the left, and the net forces acting on it are also upwards and to the left, the statement is True. The direction of the net external force on an object determines the direction of the object's acceleration according to Newton's Second Law of Motion. Therefore, if the ball is accelerating upwards and to the left, it implies that the net force must be acting in that direction as well. In the presence of gravity, the net external force would typically be at an angle below the horizontal if no other forces are present, as gravity always acts downward.

Answer 2

The given statement "A ball is moving upwards and to the left. The net forces acting on it are also upwards and to the left" does not provide enough information.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider an object thrown at some angle to the left. Then, we can observe that the body moves both upwards and towards left. The reason is why, the resultant force acts towards the direction. If we solve the force into two components, through the given angle, then, we get the forces acting in two different directions.

When you push something, you apply a force. Except this, you still may not be able to change its acceleration. That is because there might be another force that nets against yours. So, the body moves upward and towards the left only if it has net forces acting in both the directions. Hence, concludes that given phrase does not give enough details.
