a)
True
b)
False
13.

a)
True
b)
False
16.
The time that a projectile is in the air is dependent upon both the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity.
a)
True
b)
False
17.

c)
The baseball has the greater acceleration just before it hit the ground
d)
The bowling ball has the greater acceleration just before it hit the ground
18.
