A young girl standing on a bridge throws a stone with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at a downward angle of 45° to the horizontal, in an attempt to hit a block of wood floating in the river below. If the stone is thrown from a height of 20 m and it just reaches the water when the block is 13 m from the bridge, does the stone hit the block?
As a projectile moves in its path, is there any point along the path where the velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel to each other? ( assume the object is thrown upward and forward, but not straight up.)
From the edge of a high cliff overlooking a flat valley, you shoot a cannonball horizontally over the valley with an initial speed of 120 m/s. If the cliff is 400 m above the valley floor, how far does the cannonball travel in the horizontal direction before landing on the ground?
Fact or Bluff Given: For projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance (the initial angle being neither 0 nor 90 degree). 4. The acceleration of an object in vertical motion is constant. 5. The range or displacement of an object is dependent on the angle and initial velocity. 6. The velocity of an object when reach the highest point in trajectory is zero
*Draw a simple diagram representation for the solution.In a game war, one team sets base on a cliff 15m high and 60m away from the opponent’s base. At what velocity must the attack be launched so that the lower base will be hit? The initial launch is at 20 degrees below the horizontal?
"Which is an accurate statement for general projectile motion, when the projectile is at the highest point of its trajectory?" Its acceleration is zero. Its velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration. Its velocity and acceleration are both zero. The horizontal component of its velocity is zero.
