I know that the minimum speed is at the heighest point when the x axis is 0 because no gravity is acting on it. And i know you are supposed to use this formula xcosa but i dont understand why? Please help exam soon!!!!

8km/s


What is the value of the vertical speed at the highest point of the projectile's trajectory?

The value of the vertical speed at the highest point of the projectile's trajectory is the lowest speed at the maximum height reached.


What is maximum momentum and minimum momentum in projectile motion?

You are wrong


With out air pressure at what point or points in its path does a projectile have its minimum speed and its maximum?

Without air friction, the horizontal component of the velocity will be constant. The vertical component of the velocity will be a maximum at the lowest point in its motion and at a minimum at the highest point in its motion. Therefore the minimum is at the highest point in its motion- Potential energy max Kinetic Energy min and the maximum is at its lowest point in the motion- KE is max PE min


What is the vertical speed of a projectile at the top of its flight?

Zero.


How can you throw a projectile so that it has nonzero speed at the top of trajectory?

If the projectile's velocity has a horizontal component - in other words, it doesn't go straight up - then its speed will never be zero.


On what does the range of a projectile depend?

The speed and direction of the wind and the elevation of the machine firing the projectile. If the machine is pointing straight up, the projectile will not go very far. If it is pointing at the right elevation, the projectile will go farther.
