- We say that an object is in “free fall” when the only force acting on it is the force of gravity (the word “fall” here may be a bit misleading, since the object could actually be moving upwards some of the time, if it has been thrown straight up, for instance).
May 26, 2023 · Answer and Explanation: When an object is thrown vertically upward, its velocity decreases at a rate equal to the acceleration due to the earth’s gravity. The upward velocity gets reduced to zero momentarily and the object attains its highest position at that moment.

Question. A ball is thrown straight up. What is its velocity and acceleration at the top? Solution. At the highest point, the ball is stopped, as the ball is stopped there for some time, the velocity will become zero.
3 Answers. Sorted by: 10. The forces are never balanced, as there is only ever one force - gravity. The key is to remember Newton's second law: F = ma F = m a. Force and acceleration are paired, not force and velocity. Knowing just an object's current velocity tells you nothing about what forces are acting on it.

Draw a sketch. We are asked to determine the position y at various times. It is reasonable to take the initial position y0 to be zero. This problem involves one-dimensional motion in the vertical direction. We use plus and minus signs to indicate direction, with up being positive and down negative. Since up is positive, and the rock is thrown upwar...
1. Identify the knowns. We know that y0 = 0; v0 = 13.0 m/s; a = −g = −9.80 m/s2; and t = 1.00 s. 2. Identify the best equation to use. We will use y=y0+v0t+12at2y=y0+v0t+12at2 because it includes only one unknown, y (or y1, here), which is the value we want to find. 3. Plug in the known values and solve for y1. y1=0+(13.0 m/s)(1.00 s)+12(−9.80m/s2)...
The rock is 8.10 m above its starting point at t = 1.00 s, since y1 > y0. It could be moving up or down; the only way to tell is to calculate v1and find out if it is positive or negative.
1. Identify the knowns. We know that y0 = 0; v0 = 13.0 m/s; a = −g = −9.80 m/s2; and t = 1.00 s. We also know from the solution above that y1 = 8.10 m. 2. Identify the best equation to use. The most straightforward is v=v0−gtv=v0−gt (from v=v0+atv=v0+at where a = gravitational acceleration = −g). 3. Plug in the knowns and solve. v1=v0−gt=13.0 m/s−(...
The procedures for calculating the position and velocity at t = 2.00 s and 3.00 sare the same as those above. The results are summarized in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3. Graphing the data helps us understand it more clearly.
Lets think of an object thrown straight up. The object is at rest on your hand. The object is accelerated from rest to some speed. When it leaves your hand it is no longer being accelerated - your hand can't influence its motion any more. The object moves up, but it accelerates down at 9.8m/s².

The most remarkable and unexpected fact about falling objects is that, if air resistance and friction are negligible, then in a given location all objects fall toward the center of Earth with the same constant acceleration, independent of their mass.
