Question

You are tossing a ball directly up into the air. Before the ball leaves your hand, you are exerting a force directed against the force of gravity. If you apply a net force of 10 N to a 1 kg ball, what is the normal force acting on the ball?

Answer 1

Answer:

F n = 0.2 N

Explanation:

given,                                      

you are exerting force of 10 N on the ball.

mass of the ball = 1 kg              

acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

normal force on the ball = ?          

normal force is force exerted by the object to counteract the force from other object.                

normal force acting on the ball will be

F n = F - mg                          

F n = 10 - 1 × 9.8                        

F n = 10 -9.8                    

F n = 0.2 N            

Hence, normal force acting on the ball is equal to 0.2 N
