At the highest point, the velocity is horizontal (tangential to the circle) and the acceleration is directed downward (toward the center of the circle).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the velocity of a ball at the highest point of its parabolic path?
Back
The velocity is zero at the highest point (point Q) because the ball momentarily stops before descending.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
In uniform circular motion, which statement is NOT true?
Back
The velocity of the ball is not constant; it changes direction continuously.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the direction of acceleration of a ball at point P in a parabolic path?
Back
The acceleration is directed downward due to gravity, regardless of the ball's position in the path.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What do the graphs of distance versus time and speed versus time look like for an object uniformly accelerated from rest?
Back
The distance vs. time graph is a parabola, while the speed vs. time graph is a straight line with a positive slope.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define uniform circular motion.
Back
Uniform circular motion is the motion of an object traveling at a constant speed along a circular path.
7.
