Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation problems. Assume air resistance is negligible unless otherwise stated. Use g = 9.8 m/s² for acceleration due to gravity.
1. Which of the following statements best describes an object in free fall?
It is moving at a constant velocity.
It is accelerating due to gravity only.
It has reached terminal velocity.
It is moving upwards against gravity.
2. An object is dropped from a height. What is its initial velocity?
9.8 m/s
0 m/s
Depends on the object's mass
Varies with height
3. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately m/s².
4. In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the acceleration.
5. A heavier object falls faster than a lighter object in a vacuum.
True
False
6. The velocity of an object in free fall increases by 9.8 m/s every second.
True
False
7. A ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 3.5 seconds to reach the ground. How tall is the building?
8. If an object is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 15 m/s, how long will it take to reach its maximum height?
9. Consider the image below of a waterfall. Explain how the water falling demonstrates the principles of free fall, even with factors like air resistance and the shape of the rock.
