Consider drops of water leaking from a water faucet. As the drops fall they

remain at a relatively fixed distance from each other

Two balls of the same mass begin at a height of 2m. One is released from rest while the other begins with a horizontal velocity of 5m/s. Which object its the ground first?

Both balls his the ground at the same time

unable to determine with information given

Two objects of the same mass are launched from the ground. Object A has a launch angle of 45, while Object B has a launch angle of 65. Which object has the greatest maximum height height?

Both objects reach the maximum height

Two objects of the same mass are launched from the ground. Object A has a launch angle of 45, while Object B has a launch angle of 65. Which object will hit the ground first?

Both objects hit the ground at the same time

unable to determine with the given information

Who do you agree with?

Dave: “A projectile has vertical acceleration and a constant horizontal velocity”

Anita: “A projectile’s v x changes because of gravity, and its v y remains constant.”

Barry: “Both v x and v y are constant.”

Chris: “A projectile has no acceleration in the vertical dimension but it does accelerate horizontally.”

In a projectile motion like the shown on the picture, the velocity with which the projectile hits the ground is...

the same as the initial velocity

When an object is launched horizontally, what is the initial vertical velocity?

It depends on the horizontal launch speed

It depends on the color of the object being launched

A 5 kg mass and a 10 kg mass are launched horizontally from the same height. Which hits the ground first? (Neglect air resistance)

It depends on the launch velocity

Which of the following would NOT be considered a projectile?

a cannon ball rolling down a slope

a cannonball thrown straight up

a cannonball rolling off a table
