DIRECTIONS: Read the questions carefully. Choose the letter of the correct answer for each item. 1.Two objects of the same size but unequal in weight are dropped from the top of a building. Neglecting air resistance, which will hit the ground first? A. Lighter object B. Heavier object C. Both will hit the ground at the same time D. The lighter object will hit the ground twice faster than the other 2. As the ball travels upwards, at which point will it experience the least velocity? C. As it reached its highest point D. As it travels downward A. As it leaves the hand of the referee B. As it travels halfway 3. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about Projectile Motion? A.

a. An object that is free-falling is acted upon by the force of gravity alone. b. A falling skydiver which has reached terminal velocity is considered to be in a state offree fall. c. A ball is thrown upwards and is rising towards its peak. As it rises upwards, it is NOT considered to be in a state offree fall d. An object in free fall experiences an acceleration which is independent of the mass of the object. e. A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. As the ball rises, its acceleration is upwards; as it falls, its acceleration is downwards. f. A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. The speed at which it is launched equals the speed at which it lands. (Assume negligible air resistance.) g. A very massive object will free fall at the same rate of acceleration as a less massive object.
You find yourself stranded on the middle of a frozen pond. The surface is so slick you are unable to get any traction. In an effort to save yourself, you take off your boot and throw it toward the west. This results in... A. you staying put. B. you sliding off to the east slower than the boot's speed. C. you sliding off to the east faster than the boot's speed. D. you sliding off to the west faster than the boot's speed. E. you sliding off to the west slower than the boot's speed.

q20
A ball can be rolled down one of four different ramps, as shown below. The final elevation loss of each of the ramps is the same. Neglecting friction, for which ramp will the speed of the ball be the highest at the bottom? Ramp Z Ramp X Ramp Y The speed of the ball will be the same for all ramps.
What can we say about the motion of a freely falling body? A. It is uniformly accelerated. B. It is uniform. C. It will always reach terminal velocity. D. Its acceleration results from gravity and air resistance.
