The acceleration of the ball would depend on its mass and the force of the push. This is because force = mass times acceleration. You could manipulate this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing each side by mass. Acceleration therefore equals force/mass.

If you are pushing a 16 pound bowling ball what is the acceleration on your push?

You can calculate the acceleration using Newton's second law. Solving for acceleration, you get: a = F/mIn other words, you need additional information; apart from the mass, you also need to know with what force you are pushing.


To achieve the same acceleration as a small object does the object with a lager mass require a lager or smaller force?

Well, let's see . . . .-- Can you push a ping-pong ball down the driveway with one finger ?-- Can you push a car down the driveway with one finger ?


How can you use the graph of velocity versus time to estimate the acceleration of the ball?

The acceleration of the ball can be estimated by calculating the slope of the velocity versus time graph. If the graph is a straight line, the slope represents the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the graph is curved, the instantaneous acceleration can be estimated by finding the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the curve.


How does newton's second law affect the movement of softball?

When a pitcher pitches the ball, she (or he) applies a force to it to push it over the plate. Depending on the size of the ball they use and the amount of force applied, the ball will take a different path to the plate. So if a pitcher applies a lot of force with a small ball, the ball will go faster. If the pitcher applies little force to a large ball it may not travel as quickly.


What will the velocity and acceleration be of a ball at its highest trajectory point just before it starts to fall?

The acceleration of the ball (after it leaves the thrower's hand) is the acceleration due to gravity, g.1 The vertical velocity of the ball at its apex is zero. The horizontal velocity is constant throughout the ball's flight; it is whatever it was at the outset of its arc.2 ---------------- 1. The acceleration due to gravity, g, is -9.8 m/s2 or -32.2 ft/s2. 2. Ignoring the effects of air resistance, which tend to slow things down.

What is the acceleration caused by your push on the ball?

The acceleration of the ball would depend on its mass and the force of the push. This is because force = mass times acceleration. You could manipulate this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing each side by mass. Acceleration therefore equals force/mass.


Acceleration is caused by?

Acceleration is caused by a change in an object's velocity, either in speed or direction. This can occur due to the application of a force to the object, such as gravity or a push or pull from another object.


If you pushed the ball to start it moving how would the strength of the push affect it's motion?

F = m * a Force (the push) equals mass (the "weight" of the ball) times acceleration (the rater of speed increase) The duration, direction, and the amount of force applied by the push affect the final velocity (the effect of the acceleration on the ball).


Is a ball rolling an example of acceleration?

Not necessarily. If it's rolling in a straight line on a smooth and level floor, then the acceleration is as good as zero. But if the ball is rolling up a hill, or down a hill, or around the groove in a roulette wheel, or through grass and slowing down, then there's substantial acceleration.


What will happen to the balls velocity as it falls farther below the point of relase?

As the ball falls farther below the point of release, its velocity will increase. This is due to the acceleration caused by gravity pulling the ball downward. The acceleration will cause the ball to speed up as it falls.


What is the acceleration of the ball after 1 seconds?

The acceleration of the ball is about 9.8 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to gravity.


If a ball rolls down a hill does its speed or acceleration increase?

The speed of the ball increases as it rolls down the hill due to the acceleration caused by gravity. The ball will accelerate at a constant rate as it moves downhill, increasing its speed until it reaches the bottom of the hill.

Three things that can be acceleration?

Only one thing can be acceleration; the changing velocity of any given object. That's what acceleration is. Acceleration is caused by a net force on the object.


When you push on a sled and it begins to go downhill you cause what accelartion?

The acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on the sled combined with the force you exert on the sled by pushing it.


When you push a volleyball and a ball on with the same force which would have the greater acceleration?

The volleyball would have a greater acceleration because it has less mass compared to a basketball. According to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma), the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass when the force is constant.


Since gravitiy was the acceleration that caused the ball to roll down the ramp Why wasnt the acceleration of the ball close to 9.8 ms2 2 reasons?

The ball rolling down the ramp might not have had time to reach 9.8 m/s^2. Also the coefficient of kinetic friction might have been high for the surface of the ramp.
