P.4.3.1 vx = v0 cos θ, vy = v0 sin θ − gt x = v0 t cos θ 1 y = v0 t sin θ − gt2 2 (a) The projectile moves up when vy is positive and down when vy is negative. vy = v0 sin θ − gt = 0 when t = The projectile is at ground level when 2v0 sin θ 1 y = 0 = t v0 sin θ − gt ⇒ t = 0 or t = 2 g Thus for t ∈ 0, v0 sin θ the projectile is moving up and for t ∈ g projectile is moving down. at t = t0 = 0, vy = v0 sin θ at t = 2v0 sin θ 2v0 sin θ , vy = v0 sin θ − g g g = −v0 sin θ v0 sin θ 2v0 sin θ , g g

The velocity in the y direction is of the same size as the initial velocity but in the opposite direction (down as opposed to upwards). (b) v = v0 cos θˆ + (v0 sin θ − gt) y ¯ x ˆ |¯| = v(t) = v =
