A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

For instance:

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓
