Trajectory

Consider the trajectory of the cannonball shown in

figure. Where is the magnitude of the vertical velocity component largest?

• A

• E

• vertical velocity is same every where

Where is the magnitude of the horizontal-velocity

component largest?

• A

• E

• Horizontal velocity is same everywhere

Where is the vertical velocity smallest?

• A and E

• B and C

• D and E

Where is the magnitude of the acceleration

smallest?

• acceleration is the same everywhere

• acceleration is smallest at A

• acceleration is smallest at E
