  • Panel 1: This comic is all in one panel. At the top left is the question, “Does a ball thrown straight up take the same time to go up as it does to come down?” Directly below the question is the response, ‘Well, it depends.” The text continues, “In a vacuum, the time going up and the time going down would be equal.” Directly below this text we see two boys having a conversation. One says, “But we do not live in a vacuum.” The other boy responds, “Good point!” Below the boys the text continues, “In the real world, it takes longer to come down. Why? Air resistance.” In the center of the panel we see a left-handed batter who has just swung at a pitch and popped the ball straight up. He is wearing a white uniform with the number seven on the back. Right beside him standing behind home plate, the catcher follows the flight of the ball. He is wearing a gray uniform and a chest protector. His hat is on backwards. He has already discarded his mask. Along the left side of the panel is the following text, “On the way up, air resistance and gravity work together to slow the ball’s upward motion. On the return trip to earth, air resistance counters the impact of gravity, which means that the ball accelerates at a slower pace, and so it takes slightly longer to come town.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).
