Question
In the preceding exercise, can you think of a reason why the acceleration of the object thrown downward through the air might be appreciably less than 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} ?$ Discuss your reason with your classmates.
Step 1
Step 1: The acceleration of an object thrown downward in a vacuum is 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$, which is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

In the preceding exercise, can you think of a reason why the acceleration of the object thrown downuard through the air might be appreciably less than $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ ?
If you drop an object, its acceleration toward the ground is 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ . If you throw it down instead, would its acceleration after throwing be greater than 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ ? Why or why not?
If you drop an object, its acceleration toward the ground is 10 m/s². If you throw it down instead, would its acceleration after throwing be greater than 10 m/s²? Why or why not?
