Question
a downward falling baseball is speeding up.
what is the direction of the baseballs acceleration?
direction = up (tap direction to change.)
check answer
Step1: Analyze the motion of the baseball
When an object is speeding up in a particular direction, its acceleration is in the same direction as its velocity.
Step2: Determine the direction of velocity
The baseball is falling downward, so its velocity is in the downward direction.
Step3: Conclude the direction of acceleration
Since the baseball is speeding up (velocity is increasing) and velocity is downward, acceleration is also downward.
