Falling Objects and Gravity Concepts

The video tutorial covers the concepts of displacement, velocity, and acceleration, focusing on falling objects. It explains that all objects on Earth fall with a constant acceleration due to gravity, denoted as G, which is approximately 9.81 m/s². The tutorial includes practice problems to illustrate these concepts, such as calculating the acceleration of a ball tossed upward and determining the height of a cliff from which a rock is dropped.

What are the three elements combined in situations involving falling objects?

• Displacement, velocity, and mass

• Velocity, acceleration, and time

• Displacement, velocity, and acceleration

• Mass, force, and energy

What is the universal value of gravitational acceleration (G) on Earth?

• 9.81 m/s²

• 11.81 m/s²

• 10.81 m/s²

• 8.91 m/s²

Why is gravitational acceleration considered negative for falling objects?

• Because it decreases the speed of objects

• Because it acts in the downward direction

• Because it increases the speed of objects

• Because it acts in the upward direction

During the ascent of a ball tossed upward, what is the magnitude of its acceleration?

• Varies with height

• 19.62 m/s²

• 9.81 m/s²

• 0 m/s²

At the topmost point of a ball's trajectory, what is the acceleration due to gravity?

• 0 m/s²

• Varies with height

• 9.81 m/s²

• 19.62 m/s²

What is the acceleration of a ball during its descent after being tossed upward?

• Varies with height

• 19.62 m/s²

• 9.81 m/s²

• 0 m/s²

If a rock is dropped from a cliff and hits the ground at 30 m/s, what is the initial velocity?

• 30 m/s

• 10 m/s

• 0 m/s

• 20 m/s

Which equation is used to find the height of a cliff when a rock is dropped from it?

• s = vt - 0.5at²

• V² = u² + 2as

• V = u + at

• s = ut + 0.5at²

What is the height of the cliff if a rock dropped from it falls 45 meters?

• 30 meters

• 75 meters

• 60 meters

• 45 meters

What does a negative displacement indicate in the context of a falling object?

• The object moved upwards

• The object moved horizontally

• The object remained stationary

• The object moved downwards
