A clod of dirt falls from the bed of a moving truck. It strikes the ground directly below the end of the truck. What is the direction of its velocity relative to the truck just before it hits? Is this the same as the direction of its velocity relative to ground just before it hits? Explain your answers.

Prove that the trajectory of a projectile is parabolic, having the form y=ax+bx2. To obtain this expression, solve the equation x=v0xt for t and substitute it into the expression for y=v0yt(1/2)gt2 (These equations describe the x and y positions of a projectile that starts at the origin.) You should obtain an equation of the form y=ax+bx2 where a and b are constants.
Consider the following combinations of signs and values for the velocity and acceleration of a particle with respect to a one-dimensional x-axis: Velocity Acceleration a. Positive Positive b. Positive Negative c. Positive Zero d. Negative Positive e. Negative Negative f. Negative Zero g. Zero Positive h. Zero Negative Describe what the particle is doing in each case and give a real-life example for an automobile on an east-west one-dimensional axis, with east considered the positive direction.
For projectile motion problems, the horizontal and vertical components of the motion of a projectile can be analyzed separately. Which of the following is TRUE about the horizontal component of its motion?a. The horizontal component of the acceleration is constant and is equal to -9.81 m/s^2b. The motion is uniformc. The horizontal component of the velocity varies with positiond. The motion is uniformly accelerated
If you fire a projectile at various speeds, does this change the time that the projectile is in the air? Explain why or why not?
During an intense volleyball game match, Denden tosses the ball straight up in the air. Which of the following is true when the ball reaches the highest point of its trajectory?* A. Values of Velocity and Acceleration will both be non-zero B. Velocity value is zero but Acceleration value is non-zero C. Values of Velocity and Acceleration will both be zero D. Velocity value is non-zero but Acceleration value is zero E. Impossible to answer, need to know the initial speed of the ball
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.
A juggler throws balls straight up in the air. After the balls leave his hand and while it is in the air, explain WHY each of the following four statement is FALSE. Write the right answer. (a) The velocity of the ball is always in the same direction as it's acceleration. (b) The velocity of the ball is never in the same direction as it's acceleration. (c) The acceleration of the ball is zero. (d) The velocity of the pin is the same direction as it's acceleration on the way up.

The velocity of the pin is opposite its acceleration on the way up.The velocity of the pin is never in the same direction as its acceleration.The acceleration of the pin is zero.The velocity of the pin is always in the same direction as its acceleration.The velocity of the pin is in the same direction as its acceleration on the way up.
"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.
Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them. 1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be? 2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?
A football quarterback is moving straight backwards at a speed of 2.9m/s when he throws a pass to a player 22 m straight downfield. The ball is thrown at an angle of 21 degrees relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released. What is magnitude of the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback in m/s? What angle above the horizontal does the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback make? Give your answer in degrees.
