Homework Statement


Mr. Hammer would rather be a lover than a fighter, but ninjas often make that impossible for him. In one epic battle, Mr. Hammer fought two ninjas while balancing atop a canoe. He finished one of them off with a forearm shiver that sent the first ninja flying with an initial upward velocity of 2.34 m/s. He finished the other with an atomic elbow drop that sent the second ninja falling with an initial downward velocity of 3.11 m/s. Compare the accelerations of the two ninjas while they are in the air.

Try to think. What force acts on the ninjas when they are in the air?

Would they both just have an acceleration of -9.8 because of gravity?
 
Yes.
