A baseball is thrown straight up. The drag force is proportional to v2. The positive y-direction is upward.

a) In terms of , what is the y-component of the ball's acceleration when its speed is half the terminal speed value and it is moving up?

b) In terms of , what is the y-component of the ball's acceleration when its speed is half the terminal speed value and it is back down?

At the start of a basketball game, a referee tosses a basketball straight into the air by giving it some initial speed. After being given that speed, the ball reaches a maximum height, above where it started. Using the conservation of energy, find expressions for (a) the ball's initial speed in terms of the gravitational acceleration, g and the maximum height and (b) the height of the ball when it has a speed v in terms of its  current height y, the gravitational acceleration g and the maximum height .

A ball is thrown straight up into the air. It reached heighth, and then falls back down to the ground. On the axesbelow, graph the ball's position, velocity, and acceleration froman instant after it leaves the thrower's hand until an instantbefore it hits the ground. Indicate on your graphs the times duringwhich the ball is moving upward, at its peak, and moving downward.Thank you.
