Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.

• This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.

• You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.

• If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the form.

• As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.

You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

A ball is tossed vertically upward and caught at the position from which it was released.

• Ignoring air resistance will the ball at the instant it reaches its original position be traveling faster, slower, or at the same speed as it was when released?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

It will be traveling faster than the speed in which it was released.

@&

The ball experiences the same forces going up and coming down. It will therefore lose as much energy when rising as it gains when falling, and will end up with its original KE. Its speed will therefore be the same.

• What, if anything, is different in your answer if air resistance is present? Give your best explanation.

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

If air resistance is present then the speed in which the ball is at when it is caught will be lower because it has encountered an opposing force.

Good answer on the second question; see my notes on the first.
