After a projectile is fired into the air, what is the acceleration in the x-direction? (Assume no air resistance.)

Respuesta :

AL2006
Without air resistance, there is no horizontal force on the projectile,
so it has no horizontal acceleration.  The answer is "zero".
 

Answer:

[tex]a_x = 0[/tex]

Explanation:

When projectile is in air then the force on the projectile is only due to its weight

It is vertically downwards

[tex]F_g = mg(-\hat j)[/tex]

so here since we don't have any air drag or friction due to air so there will be no force along its tangent or along x direction

so the acceleration along x direction will be zero

[tex]a_x = 0[/tex]

[tex]a_y = - g[/tex]
