You toss a tennis ball straight upward. At the moment it leaves your hand it is at a height of 1.5 m above the ground, and it is moving at a speed of 7.0 m/s. (a) How much time does it take for the tennis ball to reach its maximum height? (s)

(b) What is the maximum height above the ground that the tennis ball reaches? (m)

(c) When the tennis ball is at a height of 2.4 m above the ground, what is its speed? (m/s)

My answer was incorrect, please disregard.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
