Three balls move through the air as shown in the figure below. All three have the same size and shape, but all have different masses (also shown in the figure). Rank in order from largest to smallest the magnitude of their accelerations at the moment indicated in the figure (a1 through a3). Air resistance is present, yet none of the balls reach terminal velocity.

1st ball is 200g with v=0 2nd ball is 100g with v=10m/s (going upward) 3rd ball is 50g with v=10m/s (going upward)

Answer #1

The acceleration of all the three balls are equal and the value of the acceleration= 9.8m/s2.

The earth attract each and every object towards its center with acceleration= 9.8 m/sec2 , despite if the fact that whether the object is kept stationary or moving upwards or downwards.

Therefore, a 1 = a 2 = a 3
