Re: Horizontal Bar: Vertical Velocity

Just curious, I know that the vmax=10ft/sec, but does that apply to non-projectiles aswell? for intance, if we were to use a tube-in-tube to raise a hook up to grapple the bar, but the hook was (on the first trip) attached to the hard tubing, which was in turn attached to the roboti, would it be considered a projectile? if so, we were be running it with a motor and therefore still running at a constant 10ft/sec, so it would need to take 1 sec to get up there. if not, could we raise it as fast as possible?
