I student is a pitcher on a baseball team they pitch the ball turn on toward home plate. It begins in a straight line and then curves toward the ground. What forces are acting on the ball? A. Magnetism and inertia.B. Friction and Gravity.c. Friction and electricity.d. Inertia and nuclear.
The correct answer is B. Friction and Gravity.
Friction is acting on the ball as it interacts with the air molecules, causing the ball to slow down and eventually come to a stop. Gravity is also acting on the ball, pulling it towards the ground, which causes the ball's trajectory to curve downward.
