If you drop an object, its acceleration toward the ground is
Whether acceleration after throwing an object downwards is greater than
Answer to Problem 53A
Acceleration will be same as
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The acceleration due to gravity acts on every object in vertically downwards direction.
When the object is dropped from a height, then acceleration due to gravity acts on it in vertically downwards direction. Now, if the same object in thrown in downwards direction, then also acceleration acting on it remains same as acceleration due to gravity. It is just that for the second case, the object will have some initial velocity.
Conclusion:
Hence, the acceleration acting on the object will be same as acceleration due to gravity for both the cases.
