Back

a juggler throws a bowling pin into the air with an initial velocity. Another juggler drops a pin at the same instant. Compare the accelerations of the two pins while they are in the air.

Front

the only force acting on each pin is gravity. Therefore, the acceleration on both pins is the acceleration due to gravity, or 9.8 m/s2 towards the earth. Even though one of the pins is being thrown up, once released, the acceleration is still 9.8 m/s2 towards the earth.Each pin has the same acceleration.

Front

are drawn from the tail of the 1st vector t the tip of the last vector

Back

if a baseball has a zero velocity at some instant, is the acceleration of the baseball necessarily zero at that instant?

Front

If an object has zero velocity at some instant, its acceleration doesn't have to be zero. Acceleration is a measure of the change in velocity over time. An object could be changing its direction and in doing so its velocity would instantaneously go to zero as it went from positive to negative or from negative to positive. If the velocity is changing it is accelerating. Therefore, it can be accelerating while its velocity is zero. An example would be a ball tied to an elastic. At first it is slowing down while traveling in the positive direction until it reaches zero velocity and then speeding up in the negative direction, all the while traveling with constant acceleration in the negative direction.
