  • Forces Involved When a Ball Impacts a Surface: Gravity & Normal Force
    The two main forces acting when a ball hits the floor are:

    1. Force of Gravity: This force acts constantly on the ball, pulling it downwards towards the center of the Earth. It's what causes the ball to fall in the first place.

    2. Normal Force: This force is exerted by the floor on the ball in response to the ball's impact. It acts perpendicular to the surface of the floor and prevents the ball from passing through it.

    Let me know if you'd like more details about these forces!
