Question

Only force acting on a bouncing ball is?
Options
A gravity
B weight of ball
C friction
D A and B both
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Weight is the force of gravity acting on the ball. So gravity and weight are essentially the same force in this context. During its flight (not in contact with ground), gravity (its weight) is the only force acting (ignoring air resistance). So A and B both refer to the same force.

Hint

Weight = mass × gravity, it is the gravitational force.
