As a rocket is accelerating vertically upward at 92 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface, it releases a projectile. Immediately after release the acceleration (in m/s^2) of the projectile is: A) 9.8 down. B) 9.8 up C) 9.2 down D) 92 up E) none of the above

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2

Aparticle initially moving east with a speed of 20.0 m/s, experiences an acceleration of 3.95 m/s, north for a time of 8.00 s. what was the speed of the particle after this acceleration, in units of m/s? give the answer as a positive number.

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
