MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

At the top of a projectile's path, its vertical velocity is:

Positive

Zero

Negative

Answer explanation

If it were positive, it'd still be going up (so not the top), and if it were negative, it'd have already come down!

Alternatively, the projectile has to switch from going up (positive velocity) to going down (negative velocity) by passing through zero.

A cat starts running across the room. She starts from rest, and reaches her top speed of 12 m/s in 0.4 seconds. What is the cat's acceleration? [include units; write seconds squared as s2]

Answer explanation

Use: a = delta v / t

a = 12 m/s / 0.4s

a = 30 m/s2
