- 2. Multiple ChoiceWhat is the velocity of a ball that has been dropped off a cliff after 1 , 2, 3, 4, and 5 seconds? (assume g is rounded to 10 m/s2)?.10, 20, 30, 40, 50 m/s5, 10, 15, 20, 25 m/s5, 20, 45, 80,125 m10,10,10,10,10 m/s
- 3. Multiple ChoiceWhat is the acceleration of a ball that is dropped off the side of a cliff after 1,2,3,4,5 seconds? (assume g is rounded to 10 m/s2)5,10,15, 20, 25 m/s210, 20, 30, 40, 50 m/s25, 20, 45, 80, 125 m/s210,10,10,10,10 m/s2
- 4. Multiple ChoiceA ball is thrown upward in the air with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. How long does it take to reach back to the point it was thrown from?4 seconds2 seconds6 seconds8 seconds
- 5. Multiple ChoiceA ball is thrown up in the air with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. What is the ball's velocity after 2 seconds?0 m/s20 m/s traveling upward20 m/s traveling downward40 m/s traveling downward
- 6. Multiple ChoiceA ball is thrown up in the air with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. What is the ball's velocity after 6 seconds?20 m/s traveling upward.10 m/s traveling downward.20 m/s traveling downward.30 m/s traveling downward.
- 7. Multiple ChoiceIf you know the time an object is in the air, can you find the Vf of the object?Yes, you would have to halve the time since the Ttotal is for both rise and fall and you would have to calculate the height the object rose before finding the VfYes, you would use the time the object was in the air to find the distance the object travels upward beforeNo, you are not given enough informationNo, it depends on the acceleration, which is different on the way up and on the way down.
- 8. Multiple ChoiceThe change in velocity in a given time period is?ViVfad
- 9. Multiple ChoiceWhen speed and direction remain the same throughout a motion, this is called?Accelerated motionConstant motionChanging motionChanging velocity
- 10. Multiple ChoiceWhen an object falls in physics world, what happens?It accelerates at a constant rate until it hits the groundIt accelerates at a non-constant rate until it hits the groundIt accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches terminal velocityIt accelerates at a non-constant rate until it reaches terminal velocity
- 11. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following statements applies to the motion of a ball rising and then falling in free fall?
I. The ball has constant acceleration as it moves upward.
II. The ball has constant acceleration at the top of its path.
III. The ball has constant acceleration as it moves downward.I onlyIII onlyI and IIII, II, and III - 12. Multiple ChoiceA baseball catcher throws a ball vertically upward and catches it in the same spot as it returns to the mitt. At what point in the ball’s path does it experience zero velocity and nonzero acceleration at the same time?midway on the way upat the top of its paththe instant it leaves the catcher’s handthe instant before it arrives in the catcher’s mitt
- 13. Multiple ChoiceWhich would hit the ground first if dropped from the same height in a vacuum—a feather or a metal bolt?the featherthe metal boltThey would hit the ground at the same time.They would be suspended in a vacuum.
- 14. Multiple ChoiceWhich would fall with greater acceleration in a vacuum—a leaf or a stone?the leafthe stoneThey would accelerate at the same rate.It is difficult to determine without more information.
- 15. Multiple ChoiceSuppose you are in a car that is going around a curve. The speedometer reads a constant 30 miles per hour. Which of the following is NOT true?You and the car are accelerating.Your acceleration is constantly changing.Your velocity is constant.Your direction is constantly changing.
- 16. Multiple ChoiceIf a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer, its speed reading would increase each second byabout 5 m/s.about 10 m/s.about 15 m/s.a rate that depends on its initial speed.
- 17. Multiple ChoiceA freely falling object starts from rest. After falling for 6 seconds, it will have a speed of about6m/s30m/s60m/s300m/s
- 18. Multiple Choice1. An object free falls for 3.5 seconds. How far does it fall?120.05 m17.15 m60.03 m34.3 m
- 19. Multiple Choice1. An object free falls for 3.5 seconds. Given only this information, what equation is used to find the speed?v=gtv=d/t
- 20. Multiple Choice
If you throw a baseball straight up, what is its velocity at the highest point?9.8 m/s29.8 m/s0 m/s20 m/s - 21. Multiple ChoiceA ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down. In the absence of air resistance, the speed of the ball when caught would beless than the speed it had when thrown upwards.more than the speed it had when thrown upwards.the same as the speed it had when thrown upwards.
- 22. Multiple ChoiceAn object accelerates at 2 m/s2. Assuming the object starts from rest, how much time does it need to accelerate to a speed of 16 m/s?4 s8 s16 s1/16 s
- 23. Multiple ChoiceA freely falling object starts from rest. After falling for 6 seconds, it will have a speed of about:6m/s30m/s60m/s300m/s
- 24. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following situations represents a negative displacement? (Assume positive position is measured vertically upward along a y-axis.)A cat stands on a tree limb.A cat jumps from the ground onto a tree limb.A cat jumps from a lower tree limb to a higher one.A cat jumps from a tree limb to the ground.
- 25. Multiple ChoiceWhen there is no air resistance, objects of different masses dropped from restfall with equal accelerations and with equal displacements.fall with different accelerations and with different displacements.fall with equal accelerations and with different displacements.fall with different accelerations and with equal displacements.
- 26. Multiple ChoiceObjects that are falling toward Earth in free fall movefaster and faster.slower and slower.at a constant velocity.slower then faster.
- 27. Multiple ChoiceIn the absence of air resistance, objects fall at constantspeedvelocityaccelerationdistances each successive second.
- 28. Multiple ChoiceA ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down. In the absence of air resistance, the speed of the ball when caught would beless than the speed it had when thrown upwards.more than the speed it had when thrown upwards.the same as the speed it had when thrown upwards.
