A stone of mass \( 0.05 \mathrm{~kg} \) is thrown vertically upwards. What is the direction and magnitude of
net force on the stone during its upward motion?

  1. A \( 0.49 \mathrm{~N} \) vertically upwards
  2. B \( 0.49 \mathrm{~N} \) vertically downwards
  3. C \( 0.98 \mathrm{~N} \) vertically downwards
  4. D \( 9.8 \mathrm{~N} \) vertically downwards
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 0.49 \mathrm{~N} \) vertically downwards

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, mass \(\mathrm{m}=0.05 \mathrm{~kg}\)
When the stone is thrown upwards, force due to gravity acts on the stone vertically downwards, it is given as
\(F=m g=0.05 \times 9.8=0.49\)
Magnitude of net force \(=0.49 \mathrm{~N}\)
Direction of net force is vertically downwards.
