Questions and Answers

What is the significance of the initial speed of 30 m/s at the highest point in a projectile's motion?

At the highest point, the vertical component of the projectile's velocity is 0 m/s, but the horizontal component remains at 30 m/s.

What role does gravity play in the motion of a projectile at its highest point?

Gravity continuously acts on the projectile, causing it to decelerate until it reaches the highest point and then accelerates it downward.

Calculate the magnitude of the velocity when the projectile returns to the original launch height if the initial speed is 50.0 m/s.

The magnitude of the velocity when it returns is 50.0 m/s.

Why is the vertical component of velocity considered zero at the highest point of a projectile's flight?

<p>At the highest point, the projectile momentarily stops ascending, resulting in a vertical velocity of 0 m/s.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the term 'freefall' in relation to the projectile's motion after reaching the highest point.

<p>In freefall, the projectile is solely influenced by gravity, resulting in a downward acceleration of $9.8 ext{ m/s}^2$.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Physics Concepts of Motion

  • Object speed at the highest point of a vertical trajectory is 0 m/s while still possessing initial speed.
  • During free fall, the only force acting on the object is gravity, resulting in downward acceleration.
  • Gravitational acceleration is typically quantified as 9.81 m/s², commonly rounded to 9.80 m/s².
  • Initial speed mentioned is 50.0 m/s, which indicates the velocity of the object before the upward motion is initiated.
  • The maximum height in vertical motion occurs when the velocity reaches 0, after which the object descends back down.
  • The concept of free fall implies that an object falls under the influence of gravity, leading to changes in velocity over time.
