answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance with the initial angle being neither 0 degrees or 90°:
a) Is the acceleration ever zero?
b) is the vector v ever parallel or antiparallel to the vector a?
c) is the vector v ever perpendicular to the vector a? if so, where is this located?
Calculate the y-component of the acceleration vector a1, which has a magnitude of 26 m/s2 and has an angle below the positive x-axis of 29 degrees.
A projectile is fired upward at an angle φ above the horizontal with an initial speed v0. At its maximum height, what are its velocity vector, its speed, and its acceleration vector?
