- Q1A projectile is launched at some angle θ at a velocity labeled V0 as shown in the picture. What is the HORIZONTAL component of the ACCELERATION at the apex of the trajectory (at height h)?Depends on the angle0 m/s/sUnable to tell without knowing the velocity components.-9.8 m/s/s60sSC.912.P.12.2
- Q2A projectile is launched at some angle θ at a velocity labeled V0 as shown in the picture. What is the VERTICAL component of the ACCELERATION at the apex of the trajectory (at height h)?Depends on the angleUnable to tell without knowing the velocity components.-9.8 m/s/s0 m/s/s60sSC.912.P.12.2
- Q3A projectile is launched at some angle θ at a velocity labeled V0 as shown in the picture. What would be the vertical component of the VELOCITY at the apex of the trajectory (at height h)?0 m/s-9.8 m/sDepends on the angleUnable to tell without knowing the velocity components.60sSC.912.P.12.2
- Q4A projectile is launched at some angle θ at a velocity labeled V0 as shown in the picture. How does the horizontal component of the velocity at launch compare to the horizontal velocity at the end of the trajectory (at distance R)?The horizontal component at launch is largerUnable to tell given the informationThey are equalThe horizontal component at distance R is larger60sSC.912.P.12.2
