A projectile is traveling in a parabolic path for a total of 6 seconds. How does its horizontal velocity 1 s after launch compare to its horizontal velocity 4 s after launch ? |
| Answer» Solution :The only acceleration experienced by the projectile is DUE to gravity, which is purely vertical, so there's no HORIZONTAL acceleration. If there's no horizontal acceleration, then the horizontal velocity cannot CHANGE during flight, and the projectile's horizontal velocity 1 after it's launched is the same as its horizontal velocity 3 s later. | |
