A tennis ball is thrown upward by a student so that it leaves their hand at 5.29 m/s. After it leaves their hand, what keeps it moving up?

• The initial force of their hand overcame gravity

• Nothing. The ball simply has inertia.

• gravity keeps it moving up.

• It is not actually moving up. That is a construct.
