Make a rough sketch of the trajectory of a ball after it has been thrown. Draw the ball in at least five different positions; two when the ball is going up, two when it is going down, and one at its maximum height. Label the horizontal and vertical axes of your coordinate system.
On your sketch, draw and label the expected acceleration vectors of the ball (relative sizes and directions) for the five different positions. Decompose each acceleration vector into its vertical and horizontal components.
On your sketch, draw and label the velocity vectors of the object at the same positions you chose to draw your acceleration vectors. Decomposes each velocity vector into its vertical and horizontal components. Check to see that the changes in the velocity vector are consistent with the acceleration vectors.

The radius of the track is 2.6 m. At the instant shown above, the angle between the velocity (v3) and acceleration (a3) vectors is 120 degrees. The speed of the cart at this time is 3.6 m/s. 1) What is the magnitude of the normal component of the acceleration of the cart at the time shown in the diagram above? [Note: "Normal component" is the genearl term for the component of acceleration that is perpendicular to velocity. In the case of circular motion, we can use the words "centripetal" component and "radial" component in place of "normal" component, but "centripetal" and "radial" only apply to circular motion.] m/s2 Submit 2) What is the magnitude of the total accelearation (acceleration vector a3) at the time shown in the diagram above? m/s?

It starts at rest near the bottom of the diagram and speeds up to its maximum speed between points A and B, after which it conintues at a constant speed.

- The statements in the following list all refer to the description of motion. Check the boxes of the THREE TRUE statements. 1. If a particle moves along a straight line with an acceleration that is always equal to zero, it has a constant velocity. 2. If a stone is launched horizontally with initial speed u from the top of a tower of height 7, the time taken for the stone to strike the ground is roughly proportional to u. 3. The acceleration vector of a particle in uniform circular motion is perpendicular to the velocity vector and points radially outwards. 4. If a particle moves round a circle of radius 2.0 m with an angular speed of 3.0 rad s-¹, it has a linear speed of 6 m s-¹. 5.

Draw an arrow indicating the direction of a at points W, X, Y, and Z. Draw the arrows so a larger acceleration gets a longer arrow. Write "a = 0" if the acceleration is zero at Y that point.
