If you travel in a straight line at 50 km/h for 1 h and at 100 km/h for another hour, is your average velocity 75 km/h? If not, is it more or less? Explain.
Does acceleration depend on the speed of an object? Why or why not? Give an example of a slow object having a larger acceleration than a fast object. Can anyone think of an example of an object moving in such a way so that it is accelerating while having zero velocity?
You throw a baseball straight up in the air so that it rises to a maximum height much greater than your height. Is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration greater while it is being thrown or after it leaves your hand? Explain.
