Another thought I am having is wondering if the question is needing answer describing what you stated - that although the beginning acceleration will be higher due to the push, it will eventually go back to being only acted upon by gravity by the time it hits the ground - which seams plausible...

Thank you for the reply. I would assume yes that it would have an affect on the resulting 'g' because it was given that extra acceleration down - I guess as a boost. Am I correct in assuming that any extra acceleration given to an object will no longer be acted upon by gravity alone, thus...

Motion/Acceleration: free-fall gravity vs. ball being "push" downward Homework Statement If by accident a ball were given an initial downward push instead of being freely released, would the resulting g be different? Explain. (this is ignoring any air resistance) Homework Equations N/A...
