Calculating the velocity and acceleration given vector velocity at 1 second

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the velocity and acceleration of a ball thrown on Mars, with specific attention to its parabolic trajectory. The velocity at t=1s is given, and participants clarify that at maximum height (t=2s), the vertical component of velocity is zero while the horizontal component remains constant. The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is deduced to be approximately 3.72 m/s², based on the change in vertical velocity over time. Additionally, the initial speed and launch angle are determined to be around 7.70 m/s and 75 degrees, respectively. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between velocity and acceleration in projectile motion.

That looks right. What about part (d)?
2*4 = 8m
