Question
While playing soccer at the intramural fields by Fike, you kick a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory:
Hint: Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities.
the ball’s acceleration is zero but its velocity is not.
the ball’s acceleration points upwards
both the velocity and acceleration of the soccer ball are zero.
neither the ball’s velocity or acceleration are zero.
A.the ball’s acceleration is zero but its velocity is not.
B.the ball’s acceleration points upwards
C.both the velocity and acceleration of the soccer ball are zero.
D.neither the ball’s velocity or acceleration are zero.
Explanation / Answer
The ball will always have a velocity in the x direction and acceleration in the y direction. so the answer is the D. The ball is always accelerating down because gravity is always acting on it (it goes less fast up then more fast down).
neither the ball’s velocity or acceleration are zero.
