If after an object is thrown no other fone and ads on it except gravity What are the vertical and horizontal components of its acceleration vector?
If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.
What is the difference between vertical acceleration and horizontal acceleration?
Vertical means up or down, horizontal means left or right (or forward or backwards, but without changing the altitude).
How do the horizontal components of a projectile motion vary from the vertical components?
Horizontal . . . acceleration is zero, speed is constant Vertical . . . acceleration is 'G' downward, speed constantly increases downward
What is the acceleration of a projectile when instantaneous vertical velocity is zero at the top of its projectile?
Acceleration at the point of zero vertical velocity will be equivalent to gravitational acceleration on that body. On Earth, for example, this is around 9.8 meters per second per second (9.8m/s2).
What is the acceleration of a projectile when its instantaneous vertical velocity is zero at the top of its trajectory?
Acceleration at the point of zero vertical velocity will be equivalent to gravitational acceleration on that body. On Earth, for example, this is around 9.8 meters per second per second (9.8m/s2).
A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
How does the force of gravity on a raindrop compare with the air drag it encounters when it falls at a constant velocity?
If the vertical speed is constant, that means there is zero vertical acceleration. If the vertical acceleration is zero, that means the net vertical force on the object is zero. If the net vertical force on the object is zero, that means the downward force (weight) and upward force (air resistance) are equal.
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile if the vertical component of its velocity vector is zero?
The vertical component of a projectile's velocity is irrelevant. It can be up, down, or zero, makes no difference. As long as projectile motion lasts ... gravity is the only force on the object and you're ignoring air resistance ... its acceleration is constant, and is equal to the acceleration of gravity: 9.8 meters per second2 pointing down.
How does vertical acceleration change when an object is dropped?
It doesn't. The acceleration is the same before and after; the only thing that changes is that the opposing force goes away.
When representing speed on the vertical axis could the line become vertical. why or why not?
No, because the gradient of the line becomes infinite. Infinite gradient is equivalent to infinite acceleration at that point. Infinite acceleration (by Newton's Laws) would require infinite force.
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile caused by?
Here on Earth, the vertical acceleration of any projectile is -9.81ms-2. The minus sign shows that they accelerate downwards. This is true for an object dropped from a height, however the question refers to a projectile, which implies an object that has been launched by a mechanism. It thus has both a horizontal and a changing vertical acceleration in addition to the constant downward gravitational acceleration. A general solution can be found in the related link. (Or by studying the pages in your textbook assigned by your teacher.)
What should be the acceleration if the surface were vertical?
If an object falls in free fall, near a vertical surface, the surface won't influence the fall, so the acceleration will be about 9.8 meters per second squared.If you were thinking about a different kind of situation, please clarify.
