When we throw a ball upwards, what happens to it goes up and falls down. Explain with reasons. What type of motion does it undergo?
When we throw a ball upwards, what happens to it goes up and falls down. Explain with reasons. What type of motion does it undergo?
When a ball is thrown upwards with some initial velocity (say 'u') it moves in a straight path up and down and it is experiencing constant gravitational force due to the mass of Earth.
Now, as ball is moving upwards, its speed will keep on decreasing as the gravity is acting opposite to its moving that is downwards. So a point will come at which the velocity of the ball will become zero and it will turn back towards the ground.
Now, as its moving downwards its speed will go on increasing as the gravity is acting in the same direction as the motion of the ball. So, it will hit the ground with some maximum velocity, say 'v'.
The ball undergoes simple linear, non-uniform or accelerated motion.
