A projectile moves in a parabolic path without air resistance. Is there any point at whicha→is parallel tov→? Perpendicular tov→? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

The accelerationa→will never parallel tov→and perpendicular to the flight's highest point.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of projectile motion.

Projectile motion is the movement of a projectile. The motion of a body under the only action of gravity is taught in general under this topic (vertically downwards).

02

Determination of point at which a→ is parallel to v→.

The path of a projectile is a parabola in the given by,

The accelerationa→ will never be parallel to v→, and it will always be perpendicular tov→ at the maximum height. Because an is the downward acceleration caused by gravity, it will never be parallel to v. At no time does the projectile's velocity point down.

Thus, the accelerationa→ will never parallel tov→ and perpendicular to the flight's highest point.

Question: According to the label on a bottle of salad dressing, the volume of the contents is 0.473 liter (L). Using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm, express this volume in cubic inches.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?
