Question
Write the equations of motion for a body projected vertically downwards.
Step 1
When a body is projected vertically downwards, the primary force acting on it is gravity. The force due to gravity is given by \( F = mg \), where \( m \) is the mass of the body and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

What is the direction of acceleration for a body thrown upwards?
Two-dimensional motion Consider the motion of the following objects. Assume the $x$ -axis is horizontal, the positive y-axis is vertical, the ground is horizontal, and only the gravitational force acts on the object. a. Find the velocity and position vectors, for $t \geq 0$. b. Graph the trajectory. c. Determine the time of flight and range of the object. d. Determine the maximum height of the object. A bascball has an initial position (in $\mathrm{ft}$ ) of $\left\langle x_{0}, y_{0}\right\rangle=\langle 0,6\rangle$ when it is thrown with an initial velocity of $\left\langle u_{0}, v_{0}\right\rangle=\langle 80,10\rangle \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$.
