Question
Which of the following statements about projectile motion ARE correct?
1. The direction of both velocity and acceleration are changing across the motion trajectory
2. For a free fall object(the horizontal component of the initial velocity is zero), its velocity is zero when it reaches maximum height, but its acceleration is not zero at the same time.
3. The velocity direction is changing across the motion trajectory, but the acceleration direction remains the same.
4. For a free fall object(the horizontal component of the initial velocity is zero), both its velocity and acceleration are zero when it reaches maximum height.

- 1. A ball is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of ; = 44 m/s at an angle of above the horizontal. It travels a distance Ar = 75 m in the horizontal direction and lands at its original height. What is 0? (Hint 1: examine the ball's motion in both the x and y directions. Hint 2: you may need to use that sin(0) cos(0) = (1/2) sin(20). Hint 3: There are two solutions to this problem; try to find both.) Take g = 9.81 m/s² and show all your work.arrow_forwardA sphere rolls down an elevated track and becomes airborne.

- 24. A rocket is fired upward on a straight upward trajectory at 90 degrees to the surface perfectly, starting from rest with an acceleration of +29.4 m/s² for the first 4 seconds of travel. After finishing these 4 seconds it runs out of gas but continues its upward movement on its original path for a short time. a. b. What is the maximum height it reaches? If after reaching the maximum height it is allowed to fall in free fall in a perfectly linear path towards the earth, what is its final speed just before hitting the ground? Select one: - b. a.
