Do projectiles have a predictable path?

Do projectiles have a predictable path?

Projectiles do not follow a predictable path.

Where will the ball have the smallest speed?

The speed is smallest at the highest point of its flight path because the y- component of the velocity is zero.

At what point of the projectile path the speed is i minimum and II maximum?

Answer. it is minimum at the highest point and maximum when it is launched.

What path does a projectile take in the absence of air resistance?

parabolic path

What force acts in the Y direction that causes an object to travel in a parabolic arc?

In conclusion, projectiles travel with a parabolic trajectory due to the fact that the downward force of gravity accelerates them downward from their otherwise straight-line, gravity-free trajectory.

What causes the vertical speed to change as a projectile flies through the air?

Projectiles travel with a parabolic trajectory due to the influence of gravity, There is a vertical acceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down, The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second, The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.

When a projectile is flying through the air what is the direction of the force?

For a projectile, the net force is the downward force of gravity; thus, the acceleration is downward. A downward acceleration could mean two things: the object is moving upward (has an upward velocity) and slowing down or the object is moving downward (has an downward velocity) and speeding up.

How do I find the vertical and horizontal components of a vector?

By taking the vector to be analyzed as the hypotenuse, the horizontal and vertical components can be found by completing a right triangle. The bottom edge of the triangle is the horizontal component and the side opposite the angle is the vertical component.

What are the 2 ways to resolve vector quantities?

Two methods of vector resolution have been described here – a graphical method (parallelogram method) and a trigonometric method.
