Question

A farm truck moves due east with a constant velocity of 9.60 m/s on a limitless, horizontal stretch of road. A boy riding on the back of the truck throws a can of soda upward (see figure below) and catches the projectile at the same location on the truck bed, but 19.0 m farther down the road. An observer on the ground watches the boy throw the can and catch it. (d) In this observer's frame of reference, describe the shape of the can's path. a straight line segment upward and then downward a symmetric section of a parabola opening downward (e) In this observer's frame of reference, determine the initial velocity of the can.

Explanation / Answer

(d)

The path of the can observed by an observer on the ground is a straight line segment upward and then downward a symmetric section of a parabola opening downward

(e)

the initial velocity of the can observed by the observer is 9.60 m/s.
