A woman throws a baseball straight up into the air. what is the baseball's acceleration at its highest point?

1 answer:

5 0

After the ball leaves the woman's hand, the only relevant force acting on the ball is the gravity, which produces an acceleration of a=g=9.81 m/s^2 on the baseball, directed downward.
Gravity acts on the ball for the whole duration of the motion, so the acceleration of the ball is $g=9.81 m/s^2$ at every point of the motion, and therefore also when the baseball is at its highest point.

Answer:

(a) $\mu_s=0.25$

(b) $\mu_k=0.20$

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F_y:N=mg\\\sum F_x:F_a=F_f$

Recall that the frictional force is related jointly with the coefficient of friction and normal force $F_f=\mu N$ . Replacing in the above equation, we get the coefficient of friction:
