When a projectile reaches the highest point the vertical component of the acceleration is:
(A) Less than g (B) Greater than g (C) Positive g (D) Negative g

Sagot :

Answer:

The acceleration is g.

Taking the upward direction as positive

V = Vy y - 1/2 g t^2

Taking the downward direction as positive

V = -V y + 1/2 g t^2

One can choose either direction as positive, but the acceleration is

the same as g (it is g) while the projectile is in the air.
