Q15DQ
Question
You throw a baseball straight up in the air so that it rises
to a maximum height much greater than your height. Is the magnitude
of the ball’s acceleration greater while it is being thrown or
after it leaves your hand? Explain.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
We know the value of gravitational acceleration is .
While thrown upwards, it acts in opposite direction and while it falls then it act in the same direction of falling.
But may remains same. So acceleration is same both ways.
