Yes, dropped and thrown at the same time. No other information provided. No velocity, speed, just that vague question.

If one ball is dropped and another is thrown down from the same height, which will arrive at the ground first? Won't they get there at the same time? Thanks MB

HallsofIvy It said "feel the most gravity".

Thanks Russ, that was my guess too. Pull up vs pull down. Thank you!

Hey everyone, Yes, I know the question is VERY POORLY worded. It came out of a book on becoming an aviator. Unfortunately, I'm not the one writing the questions otherwise I'd have put the answers in the back of the book. But, this is the question (and the graphics are even worse!). I guessed...

Don't know who wrote it, but I can't seem to figure out the answer. I'm running into these questions that look like you have to already be a pilot to know the answer. It's in a flight book for qualifying for a pilots license.

Hmm. Well, I was given and A and B answer so, it has to be one or the other. I was thinking it was lifting (A) since the force to pull (B) seems to require more force. I could be wrong. I really don't know the answer.

No, not a homework question. I'm an adult student and ran across some gravity questions I'd never thought of before. I'm thinking of becoming a pilot, hence my queries. Thanks for your response. There is an answer to this question though, and one of the answers posted is one of the answers. But...

Is it easier to pull up or down to lift a weight on a single pulley systeM? Thanks MB

Hi, I have a gravity question. If a pilot is sitting in a plane going a) level with the ground b) upside down and level w/the ground c) going straight into the air d) coming down towards the earth which direction will the pilot feel the most gravity? My guess is C, but I don't know if...
