Ajuggler throws a ball straight up into the air. the ball remains in the air for a time (t) before it lands back in the jugglers hand. what is the acceleration of the ball during the entire time the ball is in the air?

, downward

Explanation:

There is only one force acting on the ball during its motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

where

m is the mass of the ball

is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

According to Newton's second law,

where F is the net force on the object and a is its acceleration. Rearranging for a,

As we said, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, so F = mg and the acceleration of the ball is:

Therefore, the ball has a constant acceleration of downward for the entire motion.

radiation

explanation:

heat is transmitted by radiation

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
