Projectile Motion Quiz

What is projectile motion?

• The motion of an object thrown straight up

• The motion of an object under gravity alone

• The motion of an object in a circular path

• The motion of an object under gravity and an initial velocity

What shape does the path of a projectile follow?

• Linear

• Circular

• Parabolic

• Elliptical

What is the angle of projection that gives the maximum range?

• 30 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 90 degrees

What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile?

• 9.8 m/s2

• 0 m/s2

• -9.8 m/s2

• 5 m/s2

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile?

• 9.8 m/s2

• 0 m/s2

• -9.8 m/s2

• 5 m/s2

What happens to the vertical velocity of a projectile at its peak?

• It is maximum

• It is zero

• It is minimum

• It is half of the initial velocity

Which factor does NOT affect the range of a projectile?

• Initial speed

• Mass of the projectile

• Angle of projection

• Air resistance (assuming ideal conditions)

This is the particle or object that is in projectile motion.

• flying object

• trajectory

• projectile

• labubu

What remains constant in projectile motion?

• Vertical velocity

• Horizontal velocity

• Vertical acceleration

• Both horizontal velocity and vertical acceleration

In the absence of air resistance, the horizontal range of a projectile depends on:

• Only the initial speed

• Only the angle of projection

• Both the initial speed and angle of projection

• Only the mass of the projectile
