Question

a ball is launched upward from the ground. the diagram shows its location at 1 - second intervals. rank the magnitude of the speed and acceleration for the three indicated locations. ball speed - magnitude only. rank locations c, d, and f. smallest middle greatest. tap me tap me tap me or tap here for all the same. ball acceleration - magnitude only. rank locations c, d, and f. smallest middle greatest. tap me tap me tap me or tap here for all the same.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze speed in free - fall

When a ball is launched upward, its speed decreases as it moves up due to gravity. At the highest point (D), the speed is 0. As it comes down, the speed increases. So speed at D is the smallest, speed at C is in the middle and speed at F is the greatest.

Step2: Analyze acceleration in free - fall

In free - fall motion near the Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is constant ($g\approx9.8\ m/s^{2}$) and acts downward. So the acceleration at C, D and F is the same.

Answer:

Ball Speed - Magnitude Only:
Smallest: D
Middle: C
Greatest: F
Ball Acceleration - Magnitude Only:
All the same (Tap Here for all the same)
