Force and Acceleration
 

Force and Acceleration problem 1


A stone of mass 15 g is projected vertically upwards with a slingshot. After 5 s it returns to the ground again. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the stone:

  • when it moves vertically upwards,

  • when it stops for a moment at maximum height and

  • when it is falling to the ground.

Air resistance is neglected.
