Projectile Motion Quiz

What is the acceleration of a projectile in the vertical direction?

• Depends on the initial velocity

• 9.8 m/s² downwards

• 9.8 m/s² upwards

• 0 m/s²

Which of the following is true about the horizontal motion of a projectile?

• It changes direction

• It stops after a certain distance

• It moves with uniform motion

• It accelerates at 9.8 m/s²

What is the primary equation used for horizontal motion in projectile problems?

• V = u + at

• s = ut + 1/2 at²

• V = D/T

• F = ma

In projectile motion, which variable can be shared between horizontal and vertical components?

• Velocity

• Acceleration

If a projectile is launched horizontally at 200 m/s, what is its initial vertical velocity?

• Depends on the angle

• 200 m/s

• 9.8 m/s

• 0 m/s

How do you calculate the horizontal distance of a projectile?

• Divide vertical distance by time

• Multiply horizontal velocity by time

• Add vertical and horizontal velocities

• Use the formula s = ut + 1/2 at²
