Question

1.

Two vectors have length V1 = 3.5 km and V2 = 4.0 km. What are the maximum and minimum magnitudes of their vector sum?

2.

A projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal with a speed of 30 m/s. How does the horizontal component of its velocity 1.0 s after lauch compare with its horizontal component of velocity 2.0 s after launch ?

Explanation / Answer

1. the minimum is when the vectors are in opposite directions and the maximum is when they are in the same direction.

Min = 0.5 km Max = 7.5 km

2--

There are no horizontal forces here! NONE!!

THEREFORE there is no horizontal acceleration !

Therefore there is no rate of change of horizontal velocity component !

Therefore the answer to this silly trick question is that there is no change in the horizontal velocity until the projectile hits something.
