Two balls are thrown into the air with the same initial speed, directed at the same initial
Question:
Two balls are thrown into the air with the same initial speed, directed at the same initial angle with respect to the horizontal. Ball 1 has a mass five times the mass of ball 2, and the force of air drag is negligible.
(a) Which ball has the larger acceleration as it moves through the air?
(b) Which ball lands first?
(c) Which ball reaches the greatest height?
(d) For which ball is the force of gravity larger at the top of the trajectory?
Step by Step Answer:
a The acceleration of both balls is the same since the accel...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
