Chapter 4, Problem 26PQ
Figure P4.8 shows the motion diagram of two balls. The time interval between images is 0.036 s. Each ball starts at point i. The ball on the left is released and falls straight down. At the same time, the ball on the right is launched horizontally and follows the path shown.
- a. Write the velocity and acceleration of each ball as a function of time.
- b. What is the velocity and acceleration of each ball at i, G, and K?
- c. Compare your answers for the two balls in part (b). What similarities do you notice?
