Homework Statement
A ball is thrown upwards towards the sky. What is the direction of the net force when it reaches its highest point?
a. Left
b. Right
c. No direction
d. Upwards
e. Downwards
Relevant Equations
Regarding free fall
I'm not sure of my answer but it is e(downwards). I arrive at this answer since gravity always exists so no matter what happens it always pulls an object downwards. But I am not sure. Thank you
