Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation-based problems. Assume air resistance is negligible unless stated otherwise. Use g = 9.8 m/s².
1. Which of the following statements is true about the horizontal velocity of a projectile (ignoring air resistance)?
It continuously increases.
It continuously decreases.
It remains constant.
It is zero at the highest point.
2. At the peak of its trajectory, what is the vertical velocity of a projectile?
Maximum
Zero
Equal to horizontal velocity
Constant throughout the flight
1. The acceleration due to gravity affects both the horizontal and vertical motion of a projectile.
True
False
1. The path followed by a projectile is called its .
2. Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject only to the acceleration of .
1. A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with an initial speed of 15 m/s. Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground.
2. What is the horizontal range of the ball in the previous question?
