A javelin thrower standing at rest holds the center of the javelin behind her head, then accelerates it through a distance of 70 cmcm as she throws. She releases the javelin 2.0 mm above the ground traveling at an angle of 30 ∘∘ above the horizontal. In this throw, the javelin hits the ground 62 mm away. What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration.

A projectile is launched with a launch angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal direction and with an initial speed of 26 m/s. How do the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity vary with time?The initial velocity in the x-direction vx0 is related to the initial speed by vx0 = v0 cos 30°. The constant velocity in the x-direction means that the equation describing the time dependence of x for the particle, with x0 taken as 0, is x = x0 + vx0t = 0 + m/s t. The equation for the vertical coordinate, which is constantly accelerating downward at g = 9.8 m/s2, is y = y0 + vy0t − 1 2 gt2 = m/s t + m/s2 t2.
