Question

A coin which is tossed straight up into the air. After it is released it moves upward, reaches its highest point and falls back down again. Air resistance can be neglected. What force acts upon the coin when it is at its highest point?

a. Force acting up and increasing
b. Force acting up and constant
c. Force acting down and decreasing
d. Force of zero
e. Force acting down and increasing
f. Force acting down and constant
g. Force acting up and decreasin

Answer 1

The answer is F - Force acting down and constant

Step-by-step explanation:

A coin which is tossed straight up into the air. After it is released it moves upward, reaches its highest point and falls back down again. Air resistance can be neglected. The force that acts upon the coin when it is at its highest point is; The force acting down and constant.

Answer 2

f. Force acting down and constant

Step-by-step explanation:

At the highest point, the coin will start to free fall and in free fall only force of gravity act, which is always acted downward and its magnitude is mass times g. g=9.81 m/s^2. which makes the force constant.

therefore, the correct answer will be f. Force acting down and constant
