Question

Consider a projectile launched from the ground at 18.00 m/s and an initial angle of 57 degrees.

1.) Calculate the x-component of the initial velocity. Record your answer in units of m/s to 4 decimals.

2.) Calculate the y-component of the initial velocity. Record your answer in units of m/s to 4 decimals.

3.) If there is no air resistance, what is the y-component of the acceleration?  Note that g=9.81g=9.81 m/s2.

a.) +g+g

b.)-g−g

c.) Cannot say for sure because it is constantly changing.

4.) If there is no air resistance, what can you say about the x-component of the acceleration?

a.) a_x = 0ax​=0

b.) a_x > 0ax​>0

c.) a_x < 0ax​<0

5.) Solve this equation for time. One of the solutions is t=0t=0 s and the other is how how long the projectile stays in the air. Report your answer to 4 decimals.

The total time can be found from the equation

y=y_i+v_{iy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_y t^2y=yi​+viy​t+21​ay​t2

Using y_i = 0yi​=0 & y = 0y=0, this simplifies to:

0=v_{iy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^20=viy​t+21​ay​t2
