Question 6

An object is thrown upward at an angle of $$35^{\circ}$$ above the ground, eventually returning to earth. Is there any place along the trajectory where the velocity and acceleration are perpendicular?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at the highest point in the trajectory.

Accepted Answer

Greater than $$800\ \mathrm{m/s}$$

Question 13

A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate in a straight line. In the first second the car covers a distance of $$2.0\ \mathrm{m}. $$How much distance will the car cover during the third second of its motion?

Accepted Answer

$$8.0\ \mathrm{m}$$

Question 14

A shell is fired horizontally from the top of an $$80\ \mathrm{m}$$ high cliff and strikes the ground $$1330\ \mathrm{m}$$ from the base of the cliff. What is the initial speed of the shell?

Accepted Answer

$$200\ \mathrm{m/s}$$

Accepted Answer

$$3.0\ \mathrm{s}$$

Question 16

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate $$a. $$Which equation gives the distance $$x$$ covered after time $$t$$?

Accepted Answer

$$x = v_0$ t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2$

Question 17

A ball is thrown upward with initial velocity $$v_0. At $$the highest point, what is the value of its velocity and acceleration?

Accepted Answer

Velocity is zero, acceleration is $$g$$

Question 18
