While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance. While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance.

(a) The force of the golf club acting on the ball.

(b) The force of gravity acting on the ball.

(c) The force of the ball moving forward through the air.

(d) All of the above.

(e) Both (a) and (c).

Let F is the force acting on the golf ball when hit by the golf club. The forces acting on the ball are as follows:

1. Force with which the golf club hits the ball

2. Force of gravity

3. The force of the ball due to the Newton's third law of motion.

So, the forces acting on the ball are

(a) The force of the golf club acting on the ball.

(b) The force of gravity acting on the ball.

(c) The force of the ball moving forward through the air.

Hence, the correct option is (d) " all of the above ".
