- A student throws a ball straight up in the air, which of the following statement is true after the ball leaves her hand and while in the air? The velocity of the ball is always in the same direction as its acceleration. The velocity of the ball is never in the same direction as its acceleration. The acceleration of the ball is zero. The velocity of the ball is opposite its acceleration on the way up. The velocity of the ball is in the same direction as its acceleration on the way up.arrow_forwardAn inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?arrow_forwardDuring 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?arrow_forward
