"Free-fall"
Assigning Variables:
Acceleration:
If an object is going down:
a = __________
If an object is thrown up:
a = _________
If an object is dropped:
a = _________
If an object is launched:
a = _________
If yall could just give me the equations or variables, I will solve the problem myself. Thanks.
This question makes no sense to me. The most likely response to me, is that a= g in all intances. Acceleration is the change in velocity, and for all objects near earth, it is the value and direction of g, the acceleration due to gravity.
9.81 for all i guess (gravity)
You are correct! In all instances mentioned - an object going down, an object thrown up, an object dropped, and an object launched - the acceleration is indeed equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is typically denoted as "g". The value of "g" on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
So the assigned variables for acceleration would be:
- If an object is going down: a = g
- If an object is thrown up: a = g
- If an object is dropped: a = g
- If an object is launched: a = g
These equations or variables can be used to solve problems related to free-fall motion.
