You throw an object directly up into the air and then catch it when it comes back down. It hits your hand at a speed of 7 m/s on the way down. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Use a kinematic approach.
By what numerical factor will the range increase if you use a spring gun (fired horizontally) which give the ball four times as much initial velocity as in the lab? Explain your answer.
Two objects are fired into the air. The drawing shows that they reach the same height, but the ranges of their projectile motions are
different. Which one is in the air for the greatest amount of time?
Projectile 1, because it has the smaller range and, hence, the horizontal component of its velocity is smaller than that of
projectile 2.
Both projectiles are in the air for the same amount of time.
Projectile 2, because it has the greater range.
Projectile 1, because it has the smaller initial speed and, therefore, travels more slowly than projectile 2.
