Is it possible for the normal force to be equal to the gravitational force?

• Yes. If the surface is horizontal.

• Yes. If the surface is vertical

• No. FN will always be less than Fg

• No. Fg will be less than FN.

Forces cause acceleration.

• True. Every acceleration requires a force.

• True. Every force causes acceleration.

• False. Acceleration can occur when there is no net force

• False. Only net forces cause acceleration.

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.
