Question

**Projectile Motion: Identifying the Point of Zero Vertical Velocity**

When a boy tosses a ball into the air, it follows a 2-dimensional parabolic curve in the x and y directions, as depicted in the diagram.

**Question:**
Using this figure, identify at which of the points the ball's vertical velocity component is zero.

![Projectile Motion Diagram]

In the diagram, the parabolic trajectory of the ball is shown with points A, B, C, and D marked along the path. An XY coordinate system is depicted with the curve.

**Choices:**
- ☐ Point A
- ☑ Point B
- ☐ Point C
- ☐ Point D
- ☐ All of them

At point B, which is the highest point of the parabolic trajectory, the ball's vertical velocity component is zero. This is because, at the peak of its flight, the ball changes direction from moving upward to moving downward, momentarily resulting in zero vertical velocity.

A boy decides to propose to his girlfriend in a hot air balloon. They are in the balloon, and it is moving 15 degrees south of east at a velocity 10 m/s relative to the air. When the balloon has a height of 90 m the boy is about to propose to but he drops the ring. The wind is also blowing to the east at 12 m/s relative to the ground. They now need to find the ring. a) What is the horizontal distance ( magnitude and direction) the ring lands on the ground from where it drops out of the balloon? b) What is the final velocity of the ring right before it hits the ground? c) Draw the vertical position vs time graph, velocity vs time graph, and acceleration vs time graph of the ring.
