This is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile after it is fired.
What is zero?
When a problem has multiple frames of reference, this is used to determine relative velocity.
What is vector addition?
Daily Double: A punter kicks a football at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground. The football has an initial velocity of 25 m/s. Find the time, range, and maximum height of the football.
0.71 s, 27m, 15m
DAILY DOUBLE: A boat moves north at 2.7 m/s across a river that flows west at a rate of 1.2 m/s. This is the boat's velocity relative to the riverbank.
What is 3.0 m/s?
Daily Double: A car moving at 8.33 m/s rounds a bend in the road and has a radius of 21.2 m. This will be the centripetal acceleration of the car.
3.28 m/s^2
DAILY DOUBLE: Draw a diagram representing the velocity, acceleration and force vectors of circular motion.
