Answer 1

A.A basketball that was thrown in the air falls to the ground. Gravity is acting on the ball pulling it downward

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force of gravity is defined as the force of attraction acted by the Earth or ground on objects with mass.

For example, when a basket ball is thrown into the air falls to the ground because force of gravity is pulling it towards itself.

Thus, we can conclude that a basketball that was thrown in the air falls to the ground.
