Motion of a Horizontally-Launched Projectile

proj-vect-01.iwp

proj-vect-01.iwp

A projectile is launched at an angle from a cliff on Planet X. Velocity vectors are shown on the projectile. Determine the acceleration of the object.

In order to check your answer, click Show Graph. Graphs of vertical and horizontal velocity and of vertical acceleration vs. time are shown.

Three projectiles are launched with different initial velocities and reach the same maximum height. Denote the paths as follow:

A: red
B: green
C: blue

List the projectiles in order of a) increasing initial speed and b) time of flight.

E.04.02v3 APB-04-02-01b projectile-problem-1.iwp projectile-problem-1.iwp A red ball slides off a table. Ignoring friction, which animation correctly represents the path of the ball? Enter 1, 2, 3, or 4 to change animations. The horizontal and vertical positions, velocities, and accelerations of the ball are shown under Outputs.

projectile-problem-2.iwp projectile-problem-2.iwp A bouncing ball is shown in the animation. What is the ratio of the vertical velocity of the ball just after it hits the ground to the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?  Note the position of the origin. This needs to be taken into account in determining distances traveled.
