Explain why neither −→ vi nor −→ vP are parallel to −→ vav.
Added by Stephanie S.
Step 1
The average velocity v_av over a time interval Δt is the displacement Δr divided by Δt: v_av = Δr / Δt, where Δr is the vector from the starting position to the ending position. Show more…

(i) As a projectile thrown at an upward angle moves in its parabolic path (such as in Fig. 4.9), at what point along its path are the velocity and acceleration vectors for the projectile perpendicular to each other? (a) nowhere (b) the highest point (c) the launch point (ii) From the same choices, at what point are the velocity and acceleration vectors for the projectile parallel to each other?
