Ignoring air resistance, the acceleration is constant, from the moment the ball

leaves the hand until the moment it hits the ground, regardless of the mass of

the ball or the height from which it's released.

It's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 . That's the acceleration of gravity. (On Earth.)

The speed of a dropped object grows continuously. At the end of 1 second,

it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second.

If 2 balls are dropped from different floors of a building which ball has greater acceleration?

Both balls would have the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of the height from which they were dropped. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is constant and does not depend on the initial position of the objects.


What is the acceleration of the ball after 1 second?

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


A sepaktakraw is ball is heat vertically upward by a player what is its acceleration after 1 second?

The acceleration of the sepaktakraw ball after 1 second will be approximately 9.81 m/s^2, assuming the ball is under the influence of gravity. This is the acceleration due to gravity acting downwards on the ball.


When a ball increases in speed by the same amount each second its acceleration is?

When a ball increases in speed by the same amount each second, its acceleration is constant. This type of motion is known as constant acceleration.


If air resistance can be neglected how does the acceleration of a ball that has been tossed straight upward compare with its acceleration if simply dropped?

If air resistance can be neglected, the acceleration of a ball tossed straight upward is the same as when it is dropped - both experience a gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 downward. The initial velocity of the tossed ball would cause it to momentarily counteract the acceleration and then eventually slow down and reverse direction due to gravity.

What is the acceleration of the ball after 1 second?

A ball is dropped and a ball of similar mass is fired which has greater acceleration?

If we disregard air resistance; they both have identical acceleration under gravity. If we take air resistance into account, then the mass that is fired will be de-accelerating slightly, so if you calculate the overall acceleration it will be slightly lower than the mass that is dropped.


What factors affect the bounce of a dropped ball?

The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include...... the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're on ; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces.

Why velocity is non zero when ball dropped to the ground?

The initial velocity of a dropped ball is zero in the y (up-down) direction. After it is dropped gravity causes an acceleration, which causes the velocity to increase. F = ma, The acceleration due to gravity creates a force on the mass of the ball.
