A juggler throws balls straight up in the air. After the balls leave his hand and while it is in the air, explain WHY each of the following four statement is FALSE. Write the right answer.
(a) The velocity of the ball is always in the same direction as it's acceleration.
(b) The velocity of the ball is never in the same direction as it's acceleration.
(c) The acceleration of the ball is zero.
(d) The velocity of the pin is the same direction as it's acceleration on the way up.
During launches, rockets often discard unneeded parts. A certain rocket starts from rest on the launch pad and accelerates upward at a steady 3.40 m/s2 . When it is 245 m above the launch pad, it discards a used fuel canister by simply disconnecting it. Once it is disconnected, the only force acting on the canister is gravity (air resistance can be ignored).
How high is the rocket when the canister hits the launch pad, assuming that the rocket does not change its acceleration?

Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side.The spore is bent over by the drop’s weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop’s water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.6 m/s in a 5.0 mm launch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.0 mm by the air. Using those data and assuming constant accelerations, find the acceleration in terms of g during (a) the launch and (b) the speed reduction.arrow_forward
