a frog leaps vertically into the air and encounters no appreciable air resistance.

 

Ques:

A frog leaps vertically into the air and encounters no appreciable air resistance.

Which statement about the frog's motion is correct?

1. On the way up its acceleration is 9.8m/s2 upward, and on the way down its acceleration is 9.8m/s2downward.

2. On the way up and on the way down its acceleration is 9.8m/s2 downward, and at the highest point, its acceleration is zero.

3. On the way up, on the way down, and at the highest point, its acceleration is 9.8m/s2 downward.

4. At the highest point, it reverses the direction of its acceleration.

When an object moves in a uniform circular motion, the direction of its acceleration is:

A) In the same direction as its velocity vector.

B) In the opposite direction of its velocity vector

C) Is directed away from the center of its circular path.

D) Is directed toward the center of its circular path.

E) It depends on the speed of the object.

You toss a coin straight up into the air. Sketch the velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs of the coin from the instant it leaves your hand until the instant it returns to your hand. Assume that the positive y direction is upward. Indicate on your graph the moment when the coin reaches its highest point.
