Gravity
Explanation
## The only force acting on a ball during flight, besides air resistance, is gravity. Once any object is thrown, kicked, or hit into the air, and with all other influencing factors neglected, such as wind, only gravity and air resistance can interfere in its motion. While air resistance, also known as drag, impedes its movement by opposing its motion, gravity continuously acts to bring it back down to the ground.
