Physics · mechanics
Problem
A ball of mass m is thrown vertically upward. Instead of neglecting air resistance, assume that the force of air resistance has a magnitude proportional to the ball's velocity, but pointing in the opposite direction. What is the ball's acceleration at the highest point?
a) 0
b) Less than g.
c) g
d) Greater than g.
