Question

You are part of a car accident investigative team, looking into a case where a car drove off a
bridge. You are using the lab projectile launcher to simulate the accident and to test your
mathematical model (an equation that applies to the situation) before you apply the model to the
accident data. We are assuming we can treat the car as a projectile.

Mock-up of accident:
tst
T
h
ㅗ
R
In the mock-up above, which variable is related to the vertical displacement of the
car/projectile?
At the moment of launch -the instant when the car leaves the bridge: is the vertical
component of the car's velocity (voy) up, down, or zero?
After launch while the projectile flies through the air, is the vertical acceleration of the
projectile to the up, to the down or zero?
In lab, g refers to the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Which of the
following (A or B) correctly represents the acceleration due to gravity (magnitude and
direction)?
(A) a, = g = 9.8m/s² (B) a, = - g = -9.8m/s²

Expert Solution
