Assuming the initial launch angle was 45°and neglecting air resistance, determine (a) the initial speedof the projectile and (b) the total time the projectile was inflight. (c) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if thelaunch angle were greater than 45°? Explain.
A glider is initially moving at a constant height of 3.76 m. It is suddenly subject to a wind such that its velocity at a later time t can be described by the equation v(t) = 16.18 − 7.78(1 + t) + 0.70t3, where v and its components are in meters per second, t is in seconds, and the z axis is perpendicular to the level ground.
(a) What was the initial velocity of the glider? (Express your answer in vector form.)
vi
= m/s(b) Write an expression for the acceleration of the glider in component form when
t = 2.14 s.
(Express your answer in vector form.)

He chose the former, so lets use the name vroomosity for the rate of change of velocity over distance. For motion of a particle on a straight line with constant acceleration, the equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time. Similarly, for a particles linear motion with constant vroomosity k, the equation v = vi + kx gives the velocity as a function of the position x if the particles speed is vi at x = 0.
