Answer

The correct answer is: (c) greater than $g$

Work Step by Step

The correct answer is: (c) greater than $g$ Let $F$ be the force of air resistance which is directed downward while the ball is on the way up. We can find the acceleration: $\sum F = ma$ $F+mg = ma$ $a = g+\frac{F}{m} \gt g$ The magnitude of the acceleration is greater than $g$
