6.

A coin tossed vertically upward and it reaches the highest point in 7.0s. at the highest point, the velocity is _______.

a)

9.8 m/s

b)

0

c)

9.8 m/s2

7.

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

a)

18.81 m

b)

166.4 m

c)

1.53 m

d)

26.4 m

8.

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.

a)

x = 22 m/s

y = 22 m/s

b)

x = 44 m/s

y = 44 m/s

c)

x = 45 m/s

y = 45 m/s

d)

x = 31 m/s

y = 31 m/s

9.

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

a)

744 m

b)

1409 m

c)

208 m

d)

5,754 m

10.

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

a)

6.25 m

b)

24 m

c)

5 m

d)

2.67 m

11.

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

a)

1.82 m/s

b)

3 m/s

c)

1.10 m

d)

1.28

12.

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)

A

b)

B

c)

C

d)

The magnitude of acceleration is the same at all the positions. The acceleration is -9.8m/s2.

13.

At what position will the magnitude of the velocity in the vertical direction be 0m/s2.

a)

A

b)

B

c)

C

d)

All positions have the same magnitude of velocity.

14.
