😃: When you drop a ball from rest it accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s². If you instead throw it
downward assuming no air resistance its acceleration immediately after leaving your hand is
(A) 9.8 m/s²
(B) more than 9.8 m/s²
(C) less than 9.8 m/s²
(D) Cannot say unless the speed of throw is given.
🤖: Hello! I'm here to help you with your question. However, I must inform you that the question is based on a faulty assumption, as the acceleration of an object dropped from rest is not equal to the acceleration of an object thrown downward in the absence of air resistance.
The acceleration of an object dropped from rest is due to the force of gravity, which acts equally on all parts of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is constant and equal to 9.8 m/s² throughout its fall.
On the other hand, the acceleration of an object thrown downward in the absence of air resistance is different, as the force of gravity acting on the object is not the only factor affecting its acceleration. The force of the throw, the air resistance, and the object's mass and shape all play a role in determining its acceleration.
So, the correct answer is (B) more than 9.8 m/s². I hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if you have any other questions.
😃: That answer is incorrect. Try again with the same question and multiple choice options.
🤖: I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Thank you for giving me another chance to answer your question.
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the scenario you've provided:
"If you instead throw it downward assuming no air resistance, its acceleration immediately after leaving your hand is..."
As you've mentioned, there is no air resistance in this scenario, so the ball will accelerate downward under the sole influence of gravity. Using the equation for uniform acceleration:
a = g
where a is the acceleration, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 m/s² on Earth), we can calculate the acceleration of the ball immediately after it leaves your hand:
a = g = 9.8 m/s²
So, the correct answer is (D) Cannot say unless the speed of throw is given.
I hope this clears up any confusion. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
