A projectile is fired from horizontal at an angle `theta` . What are the horizontal and vertical acceleration at the highest point ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the horizontal and vertical acceleration of a projectile at its highest point, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Motion of the Projectile A projectile is launched at an angle θ with an initial velocity. As it moves, it follows a parabolic trajectory due to the influence of gravity. **Hint:** Remember that the motion can be analyzed separately in horizontal and vertical components. ### Step 2: Identify the Highest Point of the Trajectory ...
