Question

A stone is thrown horizontally and follows the path XYZ shown. The direction of the acceleration of the stone at point Y is:

Answer 1

Answer:

the acceleration is constant

Explanation:

the y middle path so it will not stop Going on moving

Answer 2

Answer:

The direction of the acceleration of the stone at point Y is $\downarrow$

Explanation:

Given: A stone is thrown horizontally and follows the path XYZ shown.

To find: The direction of the acceleration of the stone at point Y is:

• There is only acceleration due to gravity in the given motion.
• Acceleration dueto gravity has direction towards ground.

Hence, A stone is thrown horizontally and follows the path XYZ shown. The direction of the acceleration of the stone at point Y is $\downarrow$.
