Question

The acceleration is down. c) The acceleration is to the left. d) The acceleration is to the right. e) The acceleration is zero 6. A ball is thrown directly upward, as pictured above, where the arrow indicates th velocity vector. What statement is true about the direction of the ball's acceleration when the ball is at the top of its peak (Point 2 in the picture)? a) The acceleration is up bThe acceleration is down. The acceleration is to the left. The acceleration is to the right. e) The acceleration is zero. A ball is thrown directly upward, as pictured above, where the arrow indicates the ball's velocity vector. What statement is true about the direction of the ball's acceleration when the ball is travelling down (Point 3 in the picture)? a) The acceleration is up. b) The acceleration is down. c) The acceleration is to the left. d) The acceleration is to the right. 7. The acceleration is zero.

Explanation / Answer

6)

at the top of its peak the vertical component of velocity = 0

the ball is moving in the gravitational field of earth,
the only force acts on the ball is gravitational force.

The ball experiences acceleration due to gravity.

the acceleration is always directed downwards

the acceleration is down

(7)

whether the ball travels up or down , it experience acceleration due to gravity.

the ball is moving in the gravitational field of earth,
the only force acts on the ball is gravitational force.

The ball experiences acceleration due to gravity.

the acceleration is always directed downwards

the acceleration is down
