In this experiment, you will measure the mass and volume of various sports balls, both regularly shaped ball and irregularly shaped. What property of an object can you determine using mass and volume?

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft

the doppler effect is used by weather forecasters to measure 

moving clouds
