Question
A 0.25 kg ball is dropped from a 30 meter building. At the same time, a 2 kg ball is thrown downward with a 50 N force. Neglecting air resistance and after it is thrown, the ball will have an acceleration
A.
(a) equal to 8 times that of the dropped ball.
B.
(b) equal to 1/8 of that of the dropped ball.
C.
(c) equal to that of the dropped ball.
D.
(d) always larger than, but not always 8 times larger than, that of the dropped ball.
E.
(e) always smaller than, but not always 8 times smaller than, that of the dropped ball.
