Projectile Motion - Concepts

The more mass an object has, the faster it will fall.

• True
• False

If you throw a baseball straight up, what is its velocity at the highest point?

• 9.8 m/s²
• 9.8 m/s
• 0 m/s²
• 0 m/s

If you throw a baseball straight up, what is its acceleration at the highest point?

• 9.8 m/s²
• 9.8 m/s
• 0 m/s²
• 0 m/s

What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile?

• 0 m/s²
• 9.8 m/s²

What is the vertical 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

As an object travels through the air, its vertical velocity 

• changes continuously
• remains the same

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

• 10
• 0
• not enough information given

An object is shot from the ground (at 25 m/s) at 25 degrees and 65 degrees.  Which one rises to a higher height? (assume no air resistance)

• 25 degrees
• 65 degrees
• same for both

An object is shot from the ground (at 25 m/s) at 25 degrees and 65 degrees.  Which is in the air for longer? (assume no air resistance)

• 25 degrees
• 65 degrees
• same for both
