Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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