Hi, this question is regarding the motion of a ball which is thrown upward.
00:05
We throw a ball up with velocity v, its velocity gradually decreases and becomes zero at the topmost point.
00:13
Then it again increases due to gravity but its direction changes.
00:19
The velocity is pointing downward.
00:21
Question is to identify the direction of force applied by our hand when we catch the ball, keeping our hand below it.
00:30
In this case, the velocity is acting downward, whereas while catching, we apply an upward force to oppose its motion.
00:40
To stop the ball, we apply an opposing force.
00:46
Hence, the force acts in the direction of opposite to that of the velocity...
