Question

For each of the motions described below, determine the algebraic sign (positive, negative, or zero) of the xcomponent and y component of velocity of the object at the time specified. For all of the motions, the positive xaxis points to the right and the positive y axis points upward.

Alex, a mountaineer, must leap across a wide crevasse. (Intro 1 figure) The other side of the crevasse is below the point from which he leaps, as shown in the figure. Alex leaps horizontally and successfully makes the jump.

Part A
Determine the algebraic sign of Alex's x velocity and y velocity at the instant he leaves the ground at the beginning of the jump.
Type the algebraic signs of the x velocity and the y velocity separated by a comma (examples: +,-and 0,+).
Part B
Determine the algebraic signs of Alex's x velocity and y velocity the instant before he lands at the end of the jump.
Type the algebraic signs of the x velocity and the y velocity separated by a comma (examples: +,- and 0,+).



At the buzzer, a basketball player shoots a desperation shot. The ball goes in! (Intro 2 figure)
Part C
Determine the algebraic signs of the ball's x velocity and y velocity the instant after it leaves the player's hands.
Type the algebraic signs of the x velocity and the y velocity separated by a comma (examples: +,- and 0,+).
art D
Determine the algebraic signs of the ball's x velocity and y velocity at the ball's maximum height.
Type the algebraic signs of the x velocity and the y velocity separated by a comma (examples: +,- and 0,+).
