Question 6

Which of the following statements about free fall is correct?

Accepted Answer

All objects in free fall near Earth's surface have the same acceleration, regardless of mass.

Question 7

A velocity-versus-time graph for an object is a straight line with a negative slope. What does this indicate about the object's motion?

Accepted Answer

The object is experiencing constant negative acceleration.

Question 8

A Boeing 747 accelerates at $$3.2 m/s$^2 to $$reach a takeoff speed of $$70 m/s. $$What is the minimum length of runway required for takeoff, assuming it starts from rest?

Accepted Answer

$$x = 766 m$$

Accepted Answer

$$h = 2.5 m$$

Question 11

Which of the following best describes the area under a velocity-versus-time graph?

Accepted Answer

It represents the object's displacement.

Question 12

A car moves with a constant velocity of $$10 m/s $$for $$5$$ seconds. What is its displacement during this time?

Accepted Answer

$$x = 50 m$$

Question 13

A velocity-versus-time graph shows a horizontal line at $$v = 5 m/s. $$What does this indicate about the object's motion?

Accepted Answer

The object is moving with constant velocity.

Question 17

A velocity-versus-time graph for an object is a straight line with a positive slope. What does this indicate about the object's motion?

Accepted Answer

The object is experiencing constant positive acceleration.

Question 18

A soccer ball is kicked from $$15 m $$away from the goal and reaches the goal in $$0.5 s. A $$defender is $$5 m $$from the kicker. How much time does the defender have to block the ball?

Accepted Answer

$$t = 0.33 s$$

Question 19

A Saturn V rocket is launched straight up with a constant acceleration of $$29.4 m/s$^2. $$How fast is the rocket moving after $$150 s$$?

Accepted Answer

$$v = 4410 m/s$$
