A moderate wind accelerates a pebble over a horizontal xy plane with a constant acceleration a = (6i + 7j)m/s^2 . At time t = 0, the velocity is (3i)m/s . What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of its velocity when it has been displaced by 12.0 m parallel to the x axis...
I have 2 question.
1) In projectile motion is the velocity in the x compontent constant, while above the release point?
2) Is Y = Voy * t - 0.5 * 9.81 * t^2 the equation used to find the heigth at any given time?
Thank You.
