Free fall is:

• the motion of an object where gravity is the only force acting upon it.

• the motion of an object being pushed by another object.

• the motion of an object where gravity is the one of several forces acting upon it.

• the motion of an object where gravity acting on it as it is pulled by another object.

Trajectory is the:

• flight path that an object with mass in motion follows through space.

• flight path that an object follows when at rest.

• shortest distance between two points.

• measurement of the maximum height an object reaches in flight.

A vector is:

• a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

• a quantity that has magnitude only.

• a quantity that has direction only.

• a quantity that has mass.

Velocity is:

• is a vector quantity that indicates distance per time and direction.

• is a scalar quantity that indicates distance per time.

• is a vector quantity that indicates direction only.

• is a scalar quantity that indicates direction only.

For the monkey to catch the banana as it falls you should aim:

• at the monkey.

• below the monkey.

• above the monkey.

When the banana is fired at the falling monkey, at any given time, the respective heights of the banana and the monkey are:

• identical.

• the banana is always above the monkey.

• the banana is always below the monkey.

Does the size or mass of the banana, ignoring air resistance, change the results of the experiment?

• Yes

• No

• Maybe

As the banana travels through space, the size of the horizontal velocity vector arrow:

• does not change.

• increases.

• decreases.

As the banana travels through space, the size of the vertical velocity vector arrow:

• does not change.

• increases.

• decreases.

• decreases, then increases.
