Homework Statement
A person throws a 175 gram ball by exerting a force of 10N, 45 degrees.
a) Determine the resulting acceleration of the ball.
b) Repeat for the same amount of force applied by the girl in a downward direction.
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
For a, I simply did a=10/.175, but I suspect that it is wrong since the angle at which it was thrown can change that answer and gravity plays some role...
For b, I don't quite understand what is happening, like does the person throw at an angle of -45 degrees now? Do I also assume the person throwing is still throwing at 10N, since I think it is influenced by gravity...
Thanks in advance
