Chapter 9, Problem 115P

(a)

To determine

The shape of the $v_y\left(t\right)$ graph if air drag is negligibly zero.

(b)

To determine

The features from $v_y\left(t\right)$ graph which shows that force of air drag on the ball is not negligible.

(c)

To determine

The features which describe that the buoyant force on the ball is significant.

(d)

To determine

The buoyant force on the ball as a fraction of its weight.

(e)

To determine

The time taken for the ball to hit the ground if it is thrown from a height of $1.0\text{m}$ above the ground.
