Answer:
A. a = g
B. Both have the same acceleration
C. Both have the same speed at release
D. they both have the same speed when the hit the ground
Explanation:
A. When there is no longer any force on the ball due to the woman’s hand, that is
F(due to the woman’s hand) = 0 = m×a where m = mass and a = acceleration due to the woman’s hand then the only acceleration on the will be acceleration due to gravity g
a = g
B. Which ball has the greater acceleration at the instant of release?
Both balls have the same acceleration due to the force of the woman’s hand at the instant of release
C. Which ball has the greater speed at the instant of release?
Both balls have the same speed at release controlled by the movement of the woman's hand
D. Which ball hits the ground with greater speed?
Both balls hit the ground with the same speed as they both possess equal energy only the ball thrown upwards first converts its kinetic energy to potential energy before it gets converted back to kinetic energy on the way down
