A bullet is fired at an angle of 45°. Neglecting air resistance, what is the direction of acceleration during the flight of the bullet? a) upward
b) downward
c) dependent on the initial velocity
d) at a 45 angle

b) downward. Correct choice

Explanation:

Projectile Motion

It's known as the type of motion that experiences an object that is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

The gravity manifests through the acceleration of gravity g whose value is and points downward. The object will eventually fall to the ground at a time and speed which depends on the initial speed and launch angle.

When the bullet is fired regardless of the initial speed and angle, the only acceleration of the system is g, thus:

b) downward. Correct choice

it becomes positively charged by charging it
