(ii) What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point of its motion? (iii) Choose the x=0 and t=0 to be the location and time of the ball at its highest point, vertically downward direction to be the positive direction of X-axis, and give the signs of positive, velocity and acceleration of the ball during its upward, and downward motion.

An object is moving in x-y plane its velocity and acceleration at t=0 are represented in figure. The ratio of magnitude of velocity to magnitude of component of acceleration along velocity at t=0 :-

The angle of which the velocity vector of a projectile thrown with a velocity u at an angle theta to the horizontal will take with the horizontal after time t of its being thrown up is

Assertion :- In projectile motion a particle is projected at some angle from horizontal. At highest point of its path radius of curvature is least. At highest point of path normal acceleration of projectile is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

Statement-I : When velocity of a particle is zero then acceleration of particle is zero. Statement-II : Acceleration is equal to rate of change of velocity.

For any particle moving with some velocity (vecv) & acceleration (veca) , tangential acceleration & normal acceleration are defined as follows. Tangential acceleration - The component of acceleration in the direction of velocity. Normal acceleration - The component of acceleration in the direction perpendicular to velocity. If at a given instant, velocity & acceleration of a particle are given by . vecc=4hati +3hatj vaca=10hati+15hatj+20hatk Find the tangential acceleration of the particle at the given instant :-
