Hunter kicks a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at 30o above the horizontal. Which of the following describes the horizontal component of the ball’s velocity? a It is zero b It is 25 m/s c It changes uniformly d It remains constant during the ball’s flight
For this question, how is initial vertical velocity is 0? Even though it does not say the rock has been dropped from rest. Or we can also assume the final velocity is 0, since the ball will stop moving on the ground at certain point of time.
Does the initial velocity of an object have anything to do with its acceleration? For example, compared to dropping an object, if you throw it downward would the acceleration be different after you released it?
A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v0. At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a height H, directly above the point where the first ball was thrown upward. There is no air resistance. Find the time at which the two balls collide. Find the value of H in terms of vo and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the first ball is at the highest point of its motion.

You throw a ball upward. After half of the time to the highest point, the ball has covered? Hint: It is best to think of this for the case that the ball is dropped first. a) Half the distance to the top. b) More than half the distance. c) Less than half the distance. d) It depends on how fast you throw the ball.
