Right Answer is: A

SOLUTION

The correct answer is opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.

  • The force of Earth's gravity is the outcome of the planet's density and mass.
  • Numerically the strength of the gravitational field is equal to the acceleration of objects under its influence
  • The gravity keeps the players on the ground and makes the football come back down to the ground after it is thrown or kicked.
  • If an object with comparable mass to that of the Earth were to fall towards it, due to force of attraction of earth.
