Question

You lift a bowling ball with your hand, accelerating it upward. What are the forces on the ball and on what objects are they exerted?

Answer 1

When we lift a ball with the hand the forces experienced by the ball is

• Force of your hand

• Gravitational force

Resultant of these forces gives acceleration to the ball

While your hand exerts a force on the ball, the ball will also exert a force of equal magnitude but opposite in direction to the force by hand.

All these forces is exerted on the ball, hand or on the earth.
