Answer #1

In both the cases, the acceleration will remain same.

The acceleration doesn't get affected by initial velocity. Consider an example.

Case - 1 : You drop a ball from top of your roof without giving it any initial velocity.

Case - 2 : You throw down the ball from your roof which means you gave it some initial velocity.

In both the cases, the acceleration acting on the ball would remain same. And that would be acceleration due to gravity 'g'.

Similarly, on an incline it doesn't matter if you start from rest, give it some initial velocity up the incline or down the incline; the magnitude of the acceleration would remain same.

Here is the schematic free body diagram of the situation -

The Batmobile, starting from rest, speeds up with an acceleration of magnitude 2.25 m/s2 through a distance of 225 m. It then applies the brake and slows down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.750 m/s2, until it finally stops after having traveled an additional distance of 675 m. Calculate the time that it takes to travel the entire 900 m from start to finish.
