1. (c). The largest possible magnitude of the resultant occurs when the two vectors are in thes me direction. In this case, the magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of
and B
: R =A + B = 20 units. The smallest possible magnitude of the resultant occurs
when the two vectors are in opposite directions, and the magnitude is the difference of themagnitudes of A and B : R = |A B|= 4 units.

4. (b). If velocity is constant, the acceleration (rate of change in velocity) is zero. An objectmay have constant speed (magnitude of velocity) but still be accelerating due to a changein direction of the velocity. If an object is following a curved path, it is acceleratingbecause the velocity is changing in direction.
5. (a). Any change in the magnitude and/or direction of the velocity is an acceleration. Thegas pedal and the brake produce accelerations by altering the magnitude of the velocity.The steering wheel produces accelerations by altering the direction of the velocity.
6. (c). A projectile has constant horizontal velocity. Thus, if the runner throws the ballstraight up into the air, the ball maintains the horizontal velocity it had before it wasthrown (that is, the velocity of the runner). In the runners frame of reference, the ballappears to go straight upward and come straight downward. To a stationary observer, the
ball follows a parabolic trajectory, moving with the same horizontal velocity as the runnerand staying above the runners hand.
7. (b). The velocity is always tangential to the path while the acceleration is always directedvertically downward. Thus, the velocity and acceleration are perpendicular only wherethe path is horizontal. This only occurs at the peak of the path.

2. The magnitudes add when andA
B
are in the same direction. The resultant will be zerowhen the two vectors are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
4. The minimum sum for two vectors occurs when the two vectors are opposite in direction.If they are unequal, their sum cannot add to zero.
6. The component of a vector can only be equal to or less than the vector itself. It can neverbe greater than the vector.
8. The components of a vector will be equal in magnitude if the vector lies at a 45 angle withthe two axes along which the components lie.
10. They both start from rest in the downward direction and accelerate alike in the verticaldirection. Thus, they reach the ground with the same vertical speed. However, the ballthrown horizontally had an initial horizontal component of velocity which is maintainedthroughout the motion. Thus, the ball thrown horizontally moves with the greater speed.
12. The car can round a turn at a constant speed of 90 miles per hour. Its velocity will bechanging, however, because it is changing in direction.
14. The balls will be closest at the instant the second ball is projected. The first ball will alwaysbe going faster than the second ball. There will be a one second time interval between theircollisions with the ground. The two move with the same acceleration in the verticaldirection. Thus, changing their horizontal velocity can never make them hit at the sametime.
16. Let v and0x 0yv represent its original velocity components. We know that the vertical
component of velocity is zero at the top of the trajectory. Thus, 00 yv gt= and the time at
the top of the trajectory is0y g=t v .

(b) Its velocity is horizontal and equal to .0xv
(c) Its acceleration is vertically downward, g.
With air resistance, the answers to (a) and (b) would be smaller. As for (c) the magnitudewould be somewhat larger because the total acceleration would have a componenthorizontally backward in addition to the vertical component of g.
18. The equations of projectile motion are only valid for objects moving freely under the
influence of gravity. The only acceleration such an object has is the free-fall acceleration,g,directed vertically downward. Of the objects listed, only a and d meet this requirement.
20. The passenger sees the ball go into the air and come back in the same way he would if hewere at rest on Earth. An observer by the tracks would see the ball follow the path of aprojectile. If the train were accelerating, the ball would fall behind the position it wouldreach in the absence of the acceleration.
