question 6 (1 point)
a stone is thrown straight up. at the top of its path, the net force acting on it is
greater than its weight.
greater than zero, but less than its weight.
instantaneously equal to zero.
equal to its weight.

Explanation:

When a stone is thrown straight up, at the top of its path, its velocity is zero, but the only force acting on it (neglecting air resistance) is gravity. The weight of an object is the force due to gravity, \( F = mg \), where \( m \) is mass and \( g \) is acceleration due to gravity. So the net force is equal to its weight.

Answer:

D. equal to its weight (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D with the last one being "equal to its weight", then the answer is the option with "equal to its weight", e.g., if it's the fourth option labeled as D, then D. equal to its weight)
