SPH4U Lesson 2 Worksheet

Provide complete solutions, with vector diagrams and all work shown, for each of the following:

1) If an object is thrown upward and then caught at the same height from which it wasthrown:

a) What is the object's acceleration as it is rising, at maximum height, and as it isfalling back

down?

b) How do the initial and final velocities compare?

c) How does the time required for the upward trip compare to the time for thedownward

trip?

d) What is the instantaneous velocity at maximum height?
