Jennifers bowling ball is dropped from rest. Janets bowling ball is thrown horizontally at the same time. After the balls are released, is the acceleration of Jennifers bowling ball greater than, less than or equal to the acceleration of Janets bowling ball? Explain.

They both have a constant acceleration of g (9.8 m/s) So they both have equal accelerations. This is according to the law of gravity

Answer:

The acceleration of Jennifer’s bowling ball is equal to the acceleration of Janet’s bowling ball

Explanation:

Sometime around 1590, Galileo conducted a remarkable experiment by dropping two metal balls of equal density with different mass.

He found that gravity acts equally on all objects.

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant and is directed downward, regardless of the initial direction of the object.

So, the acceleration of Jennifer’s bowling ball is equal to the acceleration of Janet’s bowling ball.
