The acceleration of the object must remain constant. E. The velocity of the object must always be in the same direction as its acceleration. 4. _____A juggler throws fruit straight up in the air. After the fruit leaves their hand and while it is in the air, which statement is true? A. The velocity of the fruit is always in the same direction as its acceleration. B. The acceleration of the fruit is zero at the top of the motion. C. The velocity of the fruit is never in the same direction as its acceleration. D. The velocity of the fruit is opposite its acceleration on the way up. E. The velocity of the fruit is in the same direction as its acceleration on the way up. 5. _____ When using the propagation of error relationship: the Δ terms, the lower-case letters, and the terms in the denominators describe respectively: A. uncertainty of a measurement, exponent of the term in the relationship, and the average of repeated measurements. B. change in measurement, exponent of the term in the relationship, and the average of repeated measurements. C. uncertainty of a measurement, exponent of the term in the relationship, and the unit vector measurement. Show your work on separate paper to support your answers and receive partial credit. Circle your final answers and make sure to include units. Correct answers with no work shown may not receive full credit. Multiple Choice = 3pts. Each.
