As a result of the differences in the boys' baseball accelerations, the line in Alex's graph should have the largest slope and the line in John's graph should have the smallest slope. What is true concerning all three of the boys' baseballs?

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
