Question

You are playing catch with your pet cat As you throw your cat to a friend, it leaves your hand with a velocity which has both a non-zero horizontal component and a non-zero vertical component When the cat is at the highest point in its path through the air, which of the following statements is true? (Neglect air resistance.) the cat's speed is zero, and its acceleration is zero the vertical component of the cat's velocity is zero, and its acceleration is non-zero the vertical component of the cat's velocity is zero, and its acceleration is zero the cat's speed is zero, and its acceleration is non-zero the cat's speed is non-zero, and its acceleration is zero

Explanation / Answer

the cat has both non- zero horizontal and vertical component of velocity, which means that this is a projectile motion

At, the highest point , the vertical component of the velocity will be zero and there will acceleration of g acting vertically downwards.
