MAIN IDEA Suppose you hold a book in one hand and a flat sheet of paper in another hand. You drop them both, and they fall to the ground. Explain why the falling book is a good example of free fall, but the paper is not. SOLUTION: Free fall is the motion of an object when gravity is the only significant force on it. The paper is significantly affected by the air, but the book is not. ANSWER: Free fall is the motion of an object when gravity is the only significant force on it. The paper is significantly affected by the air, but the book is not. 49. Free-Fall Ride Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. What is the velocity of the ride after 2.3 s? How far do people on the ride fall during the 2.3-s time period?

Free-Fall Ride Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. What is the velocity of the ride after 2.3 s? How far do people on the ride fall during the 2.3-s time period? SOLUTION: Let upward be the positive direction. ANSWER: Let upward be the positive direction. vf = 23 m/s downward x f = −26 m The people fall 26 m during the 2.3-s time period. 51. Velocity and Acceleration Suppose you throw a ball straight up into the air. Describe the changes in the velocity of the ball. Describe the changes in the acceleration of the ball. SOLUTION: Velocity is reduced at a constant rate as the ball travels upward. At its highest point, velocity is zero. As the ball begins to drop, the velocity begins to increase in the negative direction. When it reaches the height from which it was initially released, the ball has the same speed it had upon release. The acceleration is constant throughout the ball’s flight. ANSWER: Velocity is reduced at a constant rate as the ball travels upward. At its highest point, velocity is zero. As the ball begins to drop, the velocity begins to increase in the negative direction. When it reaches the height from which it was initially released, the ball has the same speed it had upon release. The acceleration is constant throughout the ball’s flight.
