Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
1.) I have no idea, I would think that the item would just follow the path, and if the path was curved it would curve too.
2.) 0, and then -10m/s because that's the rate at which it falls due to gravity.
3.)-10m/s?
4.)The foot kicking the ball, and the ball kicking the foot, and the foot kicking the ball would be greater.
5.) I don't know :(
6.)I don't know. :(
I have a test tommorow, and need answers before then, Thanks!
