- 0, y 0) 44. A projectile is launched from the point (x QC with velocity (12.0î + 49.0 j) m/s, at t = 0. (a) Make a table listing the projectile's distance |r| from the ori- gin at the end of each second thereafter, for 0 s I S 10 s. Tabulating the x and y coordinates and the compo- nents of velocity v and v will also be useful. (b) Notice that the projectile's distance from its starting point increases with time, goes through a maximum, and starts to decrease. Prove that the distance is a maximum when the position vector is perpendicular to the veloc- ity. Suggestion: Argue that if v is not perpendicular to f, then r|must be increasing or decreasing. (c) Determine the magnitude of the maximum displacement. (d) Explainarrow_forwardA pilot is in his plane with the intention of flying to Nunavut. From the current location, Nunavut is [N 9.0W].

To get toTarget from your current location, Google tells you to walk in a straightline for 1.35 km at an angle of 40.0◦south of east. Before going to Target,however, you want to grab a slice of pizza and then get some coffee. Thepizza place is 0.54 km from you at an angle of 60.0◦south of west. Fromthe pizza parlor, you must walk 2.1 km due east to get coffee. Just afteryou buy coffee, your phone dies.
