- From the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 9.7 m/s. (a) What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the stone while it moves downward, after leaving the person's hand? magnitude m/s2arrow_forwardSpeed is the magnitude of the velocity. When we say speed is constant, we mean that the magnitude of the velocity is constant. If the speed of a particle is constant can we say that it doesn't experience any acceleration?arrow_forwardA circular loop of wire lies in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field.
