Answer:
, downward
Explanation:
There is only one force acting on the ball during its motion: the force of gravity, which is given by
where
m is the mass of the ball
is the acceleration of gravity (downward)
According to Newton's second law,
where F is the net force on the object and a is its acceleration. Rearranging for a,
As we said, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, so F = mg and the acceleration of the ball is:
Therefore, the ball has a constant acceleration of downward for the entire motion.
