Two projectiles are fired horizontally from the same height but with different velocities as shown in the picture. Which one will travel farther before hitting the ground?

• The one on the left.

• The one on the right

• They will hit at the same time.

If this velocity graph is from a projectile, what does the area of the shaded region represent?

• Initial velocity

• How high it got

• The range

• The acceleration

A 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 be 

• less 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.
