Question

A baseball is hit by a batter and falls in arc through the air. Neglecting air resistance, what is the ball’s approximate acceleration at the top of the arc? A. 10m/s^2 B. 10m/s^2 downward C. 10m/s^2 in the direction the ball is traveling D. 0m/s^2 A baseball is hit by a batter and falls in arc through the air.

Explanation / Answer

The acceleration is always equal to acceleration due to gravity since gravitational force is the only force acting.

This acceleration due to gravity is downward in direction

Magnitude is 10 m/s^2

Answer: B
