A ball rolls off a table and strikes the floor, as shown. If the time the ball spent in the air was 0.58 s, how fast did the ball leave the table?

• 3.6 m/s

• 1.2 m/s

• 2.9 m/s

• 0.99 m/s

In the picture, cannonball A was launched at 10 m/s at 60°, and B was launched at 18 m/s at 25°. The cannonball that hit the ground first was

• A, because it had less total velocity.

• B, because it had more total velocity.

• A, because it had less initial vertical velocity.

• B, because it had less initial vertical velocity.

The more mass an object has, the faster it will fall (ignore air resistance).

• True
• False

What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile?

• 0 m/s²
• 9.8 m/s²

An object is projected horizontally from a cliff.  The time it takes to hit the ground is

• more than if it was just dropped
• less than if it was just dropped
• the same amount of time than if it was just dropped
• impossible to determine

When a ball is projected horizontally, what is its initial vertical velocity?

• 10
• 0
