Question

An object is thrown upwards with a velocity of 3 meters per second, such that the only force acting on it is gravity (acceleration is -9.8). What will the object's velocity be after 2 seconds?

A.) 22.6 meters per second (up)
B.) 3 meters per second (up)
C.) 16.6 meters per second (up)
D.) -16.6 meters per second (down)
E.) -22.6 meters per second (down)

Answer 1

When a projectile reaches maximum height, the vertical component of its velocity is momentarily zero (vy = 0 m/s). However, the horizontal component of its velocity is not zero.
