in 1 second,
a ba wi
decrease
the vertical
component of
its velocity by
9.8 m/s;
in 0.1 seconds,
its vertical
velocity wi
decrease by
0.98 m/s.

is changing

of the force on
an object and the
velocity of that
object are totay

I used to think that
a ba couldn’t be
moving without the

force.
While an object
at rest requires
force to start
moving, once it
is in motion, the
law of inertia

would continue
to travel straight
upward forever.
