decreasing time intervals
equal time intervals
increasing time intervals
the same time
- 10. Multiple Choice
The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.7 m s-2.

FOR THIS ONE, REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID IN THE TASTER SESSIONS! ALSO, TAKE A NOTE OF THE INFO GIVEN IN THIS QUESTION AS YOU WILL NEED IT FOR THE NEXT QUESTION.
A student carries out an experiment to calculate the acceleration due to gravity, g, on Earth. A marble is dropped from a height of 2.0 m and the time taken for the marble to reach the floor is recorded.
The following readings were obtained:
0.55 s 0.57 s 0.49 s 0.56 s
Which of the following times should the student use to determine their value for g?
0.54 s
0.55 s
0.56 s
0.57 s
- 12. Multiple Choice
With reference to the previous experiment, select the equation that would, by itself, enable the student to calculate a value for g.
- 13. Multiple Choice
A lunar landing module is descending to the Moon’s surface at a steady velocity of 10.0 m s-1. At a height of 120 m a small object falls from its landing gear. Assuming that the Moon’s gravitational acceleration is 1.60 m s-2, at what speed, in m s-1 does the object strike the Moon?
22.0
19.6
16.8
10.0
- 14. Multiple Choice
THIS ONE TAKES MORE TIME THAN YOU MIGHT INITIALLY THINK. READ IT CAREFULLY!
An object is dropped from a cliff. How far does the object fall in the third second? Assume that g = 10 m s-2 (HINT: Remember that the initial speed of the object is 0 m s-1)
10 m
20 m
25 m
45 m
- 15. Multiple Choice
ANOTHER ONE TO MAKE YOU THINK PRACTICALLY:
