What else can I help you with?
Does a softball have a positive or negative acceleration when it is thrown?
When a softball is thrown, it has a positive acceleration because its velocity is increasing with time as it moves through the air.
Newton's 2nd law examples?
Imagine you are standing below a taaaaaaall building. Now imagine someone has thrown down an elephant and a bag of salt at different heights. The bag of salt was tossed out at the tallest point on the building. The elephant was tossed out only 1 foot from the ground. The elephant has a mass of about 2 tons (4000pounds). The bag of salt has a mass of about 1 kilogram. The elephant has an acceleration (lets say) 1 meter per second squared. The penny has (once its at the bottom) has an acceleration of (lets say) 2000 meters per second squared. The elephant will have a force of about 1800 Newtons. The bag of salt will have a force of about 2000 Newtons. The bag of salt actually has more force than the elephant because it has a higher acceleration. Newton's 2nd law depends on the combination of mass and acceleration.
If a moving body has no acceleration does it mean that no force is acting on it?
It means there is no net force acting on it. A plane in the air has no acceleration, but it does have forces acting on it. Lift pushes it up Gravity pushes it down Air resistance opposes its movement Thrust provides movement When all these forces are equal the plane will move at a constant velocity. If one of these forces becomes greater the NET force on the plane will no longer be 0 and there will be an acceleration or deceleration. Hope that helps. Another example would be space as there are no opposing forces, if in space once a speed was that speed would be constant until you 1.) decelerated with a force in the opposite direction 2.) accelerated the speed past your current velocity in your current direction 3.) Get caught by some planets gravity and crash to you death (but then this question is the least of your problems)
Can an object be moving when its acceleration is zero?
Acceleration, which is the change of velocity over the change in time, will equal zero when there is no change in velocity. This can occur when an object is stationary or when an object is traveling at a constant velocity.
When an object is thrown straight up at the highest point the downward velocity is?
A rock has the same constant acceleration from the moment it leaves your hand until the moment it hits the ground. It doesn't matter whether you dropped it or threw it, or in what direction it left you. The acceleration is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 directed downwards. That's the acceleration of gravity on earth. As you asked, let's say you tossed it straight upwards. A tiny instant before it reaches the exact top, it has a small upward speed. A tiny instant after it passes the exact top, it has a small downward speed. During that tiny space of time, its upward speed decreases and its downward speed increases. That's a downward acceleration in anybody's book.
If you drop an object it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared if you instead throw it downwards its acceleration will be greater or less 9.8 meters per second?
Whether the object is dropped, thrown downwards, thrown upwards, or thrown horizontally, its downward acceleration is the same 9.8 meters per second2. If it's thrown downwards, however, its speed at any instant is greater than the speed at the same instant would be if it had only been dropped, since it has some speed before the acceleration begins.
Is the acceleration the same on an object that is drop or when its thrown?
No, the acceleration is not the same for an object that is dropped and an object that is thrown. When an object is dropped, it experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity. When an object is thrown, its acceleration can vary depending on factors such as the initial velocity and direction.
When an object is thown upward how much speed does it loose each second?
When an object is thrown upwards, it loses 9.8 meters per second of speed due to gravity acting against its motion. This is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which causes the object to slow down as it moves upward.
When will an object land if it is thrown straight from a building at 5 meters per second?
It depends on the height of the building and also on the direction the object is thrown in (up, down etc.).
If you drop an object it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared if you instead throw it downwards its acceleration will be greater or less?
It's initial acceleration (when it is still in your hand) will be greater than that of a free falling object. However, once it leaves your hand, there are no other forces other than gravity acting on it (neglecting air resistance), so a thrown object will accelerate at 9.8 meters per second squared.
Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?
Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.
A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff at a speed of 9 meters per second What is its speed one second later?
Ignoring air resistance, its horizontal speed is still 9 meters per second, its vertical speed is approx. 9.81 m/s, as the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 meters per second per second.
Give a situation when an object is with 0 velocitybut wieh a constant accelaration?
If you through an object up, at its highest point it will have zero velocity (only for that instant). But all the time it is subject to an acceleration of 9.8 meters per square second (downward).
What is acceleration at instantaneous maximum velocity?
In the case of an object thrown, batted, teed off, or dropped, its acceleration at the instant of its maximum velocity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.
An object thrown upward has zero acceleration at the highest point?
No, the acceleration at the highest point is never 0.
What is the downward acceleration of a thrown object in projectile motion?
The downward acceleration of a thrown object in projectile motion is constant and equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth. This acceleration acts vertically downward and affects the vertical motion of the object while the horizontal motion remains unaffected.
How does acceleration change when object is thrown veritcally upward under ideal conditions?
From the time the object leaves your hand, its acceleration doesn't change at all ... it remains constant at 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 downward. Well, we have to admit that the acceleration does change to zero once the object hits the ground.
