Multiple Choice
A tennis ball is thrown upward at an angle from point A. It follows a parabolic trajectory and hits the ground at point D. At the instant shown, the ball is at point B. Point C represents the highest
-While in flight, how do the x and y components of the velocity vector of the ball compare at the points B and C?
A) The velocity components are non-zero at B and zero at C.
B) The x components are the same; the y component at C is zero m/s.
C) The x components are the same; the y component has a larger magnitude at C than at B.
D) The x component is larger at C than at B; the y component at B points up while at C, it points downward.
E) The x component is larger at B than at C; the y component at B points down while at C, it points upward.
