How can you throw a projectile so that it has nonzero speed at the top of trajectory?

To achieve nonzero speed at the top of the trajectory, you should throw the projectile upward with an initial velocity greater than zero. This will allow the projectile to continue moving upward even at the top of its trajectory before it begins to fall back down due to gravity.


What is the minimum speed required to go around a loop?

The minimum speed required to go around a loop is determined by the gravitational force and the radius of the loop. This speed is calculated using the formula v (rg), where v is the speed, r is the radius of the loop, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.


How high does projectile go?

The maximum height of a projectile depends on its initial velocity and launch angle. In ideal conditions, the maximum height occurs when the launch angle is 45 degrees, reaching a height equal to half the maximum range of the projectile.


What is total time hang time of a projectile?

The total hang time of a projectile is the time it takes for the projectile to go up and come back down to its original height. It can be calculated using the formula: Total hang time = 2 * time to reach maximum height.


Would the projectile on a trebuchet go farther if it had more counter weight?

Yes, increasing the counterweight on a trebuchet would generally cause the projectile to be launched farther. This is because a heavier counterweight provides more force to the throwing arm, allowing it to launch the projectile with greater momentum.

On what does the range of a projectile depend?

The speed and direction of the wind and the elevation of the machine firing the projectile. If the machine is pointing straight up, the projectile will not go very far. If it is pointing at the right elevation, the projectile will go farther.


What are some examples of real life hyperbola?

The orbit of objects that approach the Sun, or Earth, from far away, above a certain critical speed.At a certain critical speed, the orbit will be a parabola. Above the critical speed, the orbit will be a hyperbola. (In both cases, the object will go away, never to come back.) Below the critical speed, the orbit is an elipse or a circle.The orbit of objects that approach the Sun, or Earth, from far away, above a certain critical speed.At a certain critical speed, the orbit will be a parabola.

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.

What two conditions must be met in order for a projectile to go into orbit around earth?

The projectile must be traveling fast enough to avoid falling into the earth's atmosphere but slow enough to avoid escaping the earth's gravitational pull.


How fast does an orbiting space shuttle go?

About 18,000 mph. The exact speed depends on the exact orbital height. If the orbit is not circular the speed will vary in different parts of the orbit.


What is the minimum speed of a ferrari 360 spider?

It can be parked and go at 0mph.

The speed that must be reached by a satellite or spacecraft for it to go into orbit is called?

Escape velocity


What speed does the space shuttle go at?

17,580 mph or 7,860 s/m (in orbit)


How fast can an asteroid go?

Asteroids orbit the sun at several tens of thousands of miles per hour. The speed varies depending on the orbit.


How is Uranus speed is less than Jupiter's speed?

The way gravity works, a planet in a larger orbit travels slower than one in a smaller orbit. And PLUS, don't forget, it also has farther to go.
