Question

When a body is moving upwards, the force of gravity is acting

• A. Upwards
• B. Downwards
• C. Horizontal direction
• D. Between horizontal and upwards direction

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Downwards

1. Force of Gravity: The attractive force exerted by the earth on any object in its gravitational field is known as the force of gravity.
2. The gravitational force on earth always tries to bring the object to the surface of the earth as it acts toward the center of the earth.
3. When a body moves upwards, the force of gravity acts in the downward direction as the earth attracts the body towards itself.

Hence, the force of gravity is acting downwards.

Thus, option (B) is the correct option.
