The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
The path of a projectile is determined by two components of motion. They are termed as horizontal and the vertical components. Since both components velocity are perpendicular to each other, so it can stated that they are independent of each other.
Even it can seen that when the horizontal components of velocity is constant, then there will be change in the vertical components of velocity leading to free fall projectile path.
And in the absence of gravity, there will be change in the horizontal components of velocity with zero vertical component of velocity. Thus, the horizontal and the vertical components of a projectile’s velocity are seemed to be independent of each other.
Either A or D. If I were answering I'd go with my git answer and say A
Hi there!
We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.
Use the kinematic equation:

The block starts from rest, so:

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

mb = mass of the block
T = tension of string
Solve for tension:

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

Rewrite:

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

Now, plug in the values into the equation:
