A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.1 m/s. (Air resistance can be ignored.)
a) At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 19.2 m/s upward? (g = 9.80 m/s^2)
b) At what time is it moving at 19.2 m/s downward? (g = 9.80 m/s^2)
c) When is the displacement of the boulder from its initial position zero? g = 9.80 m/s^2
d) When is the velocity of the boulder zero? g = 9.80 m/s^2
I did and understand these four parts. Now the following two parts are the ones I do not understand.
e) What is the magnitude of the acceleration while the boulder is moving? (Take g = 9.80 m/s^2 for free fall acceleration)
Well, the boulder can move up or down, but is the magnitude 9.80 m/s^2 for both scenarios?
f. What is the direction, up or down, of the acceleration while the boulder is moving?
Won't the direction be down?
Thanks for any help.
