Problem 1. As the object is moving in the vertical direction, describe how its speed changes. Speed=magnitude of velocity. Support your answer
Added by Laura B.
Step 1
In the vertical direction, the primary forces acting on an object are gravity and possibly air resistance. Gravity acts downward with a force equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration due to gravity (m*g), where g is approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth. Show more…

An object is moving with constant velocity in the -Y-direction. Suddenly, it experiences an acceleration in the -X-direction. Which of the following is true? The velocity vector will begin to turn towards the -X-direction: The velocity vector will continue to point in the -Y-direction, since the two directions are independent: The velocity vector will continue to point in the -Y-direction; but its magnitude will shrink to zero. The velocity vector will begin to turn towards the +X-direction:
