When a ball is thrown up into the air, the two forces at work are:

  1. Gravity: This force pulls the ball downward towards the Earth.
  2. Air Resistance: This is the frictional force that acts against the motion of the ball as it moves through the air.

Friction and inertia are not the primary forces acting on the ball in this scenario.
