Question

An object is propelled from the origin with acceleration ? =(4.00?̂+2.00?̂) ?/?2 and initial
velocity ? 0 =(8.00?̂+12.0?̂) ?/? for 5.00 seconds. After this 5.00 second interval, the object
then travels as a projectile.
a. Determine how long the object is in the air.
b. What is the object’s position vector (in unit-vector notation) when it reaches its maximum
altitude?
c. What is the object’s velocity vector (in magnitude and direction) just before it hits the
ground?
