A baseball player throws a baseball from the outfield to second base. Which forces are acting on the ball during its flight (assume no air resistance)?
	The player and air resistance
	Gravity and air resistance
	Gravity, the player, and air resistance
	Only gravity
	Gravity and the player <----
I would of picked 'c' but it said assume no air resistance

Gravity because gravity acts upon all forces and the player is exerting energy and force to the ball causing it to exert forward, if we assumed air resistance, this would of been the slowing down factor

@ganeshie8 am i right?

Actually I changed my mind, it would only be gravity.
The player only exerts vi, INITIAL VELOCITY, this does not follow through with the entire throw. There is no air resistance, so its only gravity.
