A Projectile Starts at the Coordinate Origin, Where the Displacement θ\theta

Question 35

Multiple Choice

A projectile starts at the coordinate origin, where the displacement vector also originates. The initial velocity, v0, makes an angle θ\theta 0 with the horizontal where 0 < θ\theta 0 < 90 °\degree . At the instant when the projectile is at the highest point of its trajectory, the displacement, velocity and acceleration vectors are r\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}} , v\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}} and a\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} . Which statement is true?


A) r\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}} is parallel to v\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}} .
B) r\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}} is perpendicular to v\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}} .
C) v\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}} is parallel to a\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} .
D) v\overrightarrow{\mathbf{v}} is perpendicular to a\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} .
E) r\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}} is perpendicular to a\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} .
