What happens to a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have acceleration of?

After being released, a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have an acceleration of


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.


If after an object is thrown no other fone and ads on it except gravity What are the vertical and horizontal components of its acceleration vector?

If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.


What is the acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward?

zero


An object thrown upward has zero acceleration at the highest point?

No, the acceleration at the highest point is never 0.


If you throw an object towards the ground would it acceleration be greater or less thatn an object free falling?

Both objects would eventually reach terminal velocity which means they would both fall at the same speed.- But - compared to the falling object, the downward acceleration of a thrown object is the same.


Is the acceleration the same on an object that is drop or when its thrown?

It is the same (neglecting air resistance).


Acceleration of a rock at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward?

Any object moving under the influence of gravity only and no other outside forces has a constant acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2, directed down.The speed changes. The acceleration doesn't, regardless of the angle, speed, trajectory, color, temperature, cost, size, mass, or weight of the falling object.


What is the acceleration at highest pointn when ball is thrown straight up?

The acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, downwards, or 9.8m/s/s (32 ft/s/s). When ball is thrown straight up it has an initial velocity that is decreasing because of gravity; at the highest point velocity is zero but acceleration is always constant at gravity rate.


How much work is done when an object is thrown upward?

mass of the object (times) gravitational acceleration (times) height the object reaches.


When A ball is thrown straight up from the ground. What way does its acceleration point at the top?

Its acceleration points straight down at all times after it's released.


Can an object have a speed of 0 while it has an acceleration that is not 0?

Yes. Acceleration is independent of speed. A perfect example of an object with zero speed but nonzero acceleration is an object at the apex of being thrown upward. The entire time it is in the air it is accelerating downward. At its maximum height its speed is zero.
