Question

Consider a coin which is tossed straight up into the air. After it is released it moves upward, reaches its highest point and falls back down again. Air resistance can be neglected. What force acts on the coin while it moves upward after it is released

Answer 1

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Step-by-step explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released
