Without air friction, the horizontal component of the velocity will be constant. The vertical component of the velocity will be a maximum at the lowest point in its motion and at a minimum at the highest point in its motion. Therefore the minimum is at the highest point in its motion- Potential energy max Kinetic Energy min and the maximum is at its lowest point in the motion- KE is max PE min

At the top of the trajectory, the speed is minimum, and it's at its maximum right before it crashes on the ground (if the ground is equal or lower than where the projectile was shot from). If the landing site is at a higher level, then the maximum speed would be from where it was shot.

What is an antinode?

in a wave there are some points which vibrate with maximum amplitude these points are called antinodes.pressure at\on these points is minimum hence they are also called pressure nodes.


Are total length axial length maximum width basal width maximum thickness midsection thickness proximal shoulder angle notch opening and neck width examples of projectile points?

Yes. They are the ATTRIBUTES of the projectile points.


At what point or points in its path does a projectile have its minimum speed and its maximum?

Let us try and answer this quest by using a bullet or shell fired from a gun. The projectiles maximum speed is at the point of leaving its casing. From that moment it begins to be slowed by air pressure in front of the projectile and also curves towards the earth attracted by gravity. Point of interest. The rifling of a guns barrel does not make the projectile go faster. It makes it spin so that it travels straighter and not tumble like the old none spinning projectiles.


How do you know if a point is a maximum or a minimum?

Usually at the minimum or maximum of a function, one of the following conditions arises:The derivative is zero.The derivative is undefined.The point is at the end-points of the domain that is being considered (or of the naturally-defined domain, for example, zero for the square root).This will give you "candidate points"; to find out whether each of these candidate points actually is a maximum or a minimum, additional analysis is required. For example, if the second derivative is positive, you have a minimum, if the second derivative is negative, you have a maximum - but if it is zero, it may be a maximum, a minimum, or neither.


What is the minimum number of points required to mark all maximum minimum and zeros in a period of a sinusoid?

One period of a sinusoid with no constant component has 1 maximum, 1 minimum,and 1 zero crossing, and 2 zero end-points.Total = 5 points.

What is the least and maximum number of lines obtainable with 7 points?

depends on the position of the points if points are collinear, we have just only one line, the minimum number. If points are in different position (if any of the two points are not collinear) we have 21 lines (7C2), the maximum number of lines.

How do you find minimum and maximum value of calculus?

In Calculus, to find the maximum and minimum value, you first take the derivative of the function then find the zeroes or the roots of it. Once you have the roots, you can just simply plug in the x value to the original function where y is the maximum or minimum value. To know if its a maximum or minimum value, simply do your number line to check. the x and y are now your max/min points/ coordinates.
