stays the same
none of these
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile due to gravity?
-9.0 m/s
-9.8 m/s
-9.8 m/s2

A coin tossed vertically upward and it reaches the highest point in 7.0s. at the highest point, the velocity is _______.
9.8 m/s
0
9.8 m/s2
98 m/s2
An action hero jumps from a small building 16 meters high in the air. He has a running start and is leaping off with a velocity of 10.4 m/s. How far from the building does he manage to leap?
You need time first: t = √d/((1/2)a)
d = s x t
18.81 m
166.4 m
1.53 m
26.4 m
A javelin thrower releases the javelin at 45 degrees from the horizontal at 31 m/s. Find the velocity in the x and y direction.
x = 22 m/s
y = 22 m/s
x = 44 m/s
y = 44 m/s
x = 45 m/s
y = 45 m/s
x = 31 m/s
y = 31 m/s
A sniper is doing some training with targets at certain ranges. Calculate the range the sniper is trying to hit using the information.
* You first need time: t = (Vf-Vi)/a
this will only equal half your time so multiply your answer by 2.
Then you can find range d = s x t
744 m
1409 m
208 m
5,754 m
After a streak of terrible games you decide to toss your keyboard out your 3 meter high window at 8 m/s. How far does you keyboard make it from your house?
You need time first t = √d/((1/2)a)
*d = s x t
6.25 m
24 m
5 m
2.67 m
The heathens are attacking your castle gate. You chunk a large rock from the 6 m high ramparts and it lands 2 m away. With what velocity did you toss the rock?
We need calculate time first
t = √d/((1/2)a)
then: s = d/t
1.82 m/s
3 m/s
1.10 m
1.28
A football is punt upwards at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal. The initial horizontal and vertical components are 29 m/s and 24 m/s, respectively.
According to the information and diagram shown above, what position will have the greatest magnitude of vertical acceleration?
A
B
C
The magnitude of acceleration is the same at all the positions. The acceleration is -9.8m/s2.
At what position will the magnitude of the velocity in the vertical direction be 0m/s2.
A
B
C
All positions have the same magnitude of velocity.
Refer to the information and diagram. At position A, the ball will have a horizontal velocity of -
12.5 m/s
5 m/s
29 m/s
24 m/s
