An object that is in free fall seems to be (D) weightless.
Objects which are in free fall are said to be weightless because they only have the force of gravity acting upon them. Objects in free fall do not experience air resistance.
The choices you've posted don't include any graph that shows it.
We can use conservation of momentum. MaVa + MbVb = (Ma+Mb)Vf.
Plugging in values:
(.115)(35) + (.265)0 = (.380)(Vf)
Now solve for Vf.
Vf= .115*35 / .380 = 10.6 m/s
Answer: "For a projectile with no air resistance, at the peak of its path, it's velocity is equal to zero"
Explanation:
Suppose that you throw an object up. The initial vertical velocity will be positive, and the acceleration (the gravitational acceleration) will point downwards, meaning that it opposes to the initial direction of the velocity, and that decreases the velocity as the time goes by.
There will be a point where the velocity ( that was positive until now, so until now the height of the object was increasing), is equal to zero, this means that at this moment the object stops moving, and after, because we still have negative acceleration, the velocity will start become negative, and the object will fall down.
Then that point where the velocity was zero is the peak of its path, then we can conclude that:
"For a projectile with no air resistance, at the peak of its path, it's velocity is equal to zero"
