Horizontal Projectile Motion

Multiple Choice

Which is newtons first law states

An object at rest will remain at rest unless a force is applied

An object is moving

An object has stopped

An moving object will keep going when a force is applied to it

X component acceleration

the object has no other forces acting on it

velocity is constant

a=0

X component velocity

v_ix velocity in the x direction

is equal to the original velocity

Multiple Choice

How can you describe the motion on the horizontal axis if you ignore air resistance?

acceleration due to gravity

constant velocity

varying acceleration

motionless

Multiple Choice

Acceleration in the x direction is

9.8

not enough information

=mg

X component Displacement

$\Delta x=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ $a=0$
$\Delta x=v_{i_{ }}t$

X direction

$v_{ix\ }\ or\ v_{ox_{\ }}\ =\ the\ intial\ velocity$

Fill in the Blanks

It take 2.4 s for a ball pushed with an initial velocity of 2 m/s from a ledge to hit the ground. What is the displacement? tenths place

Type answer...

y component acceleration

a_y=acceleration due to gravity
a_y=9.8

Multiple Choice

The acceleration in the y direction is due to

mass

weight

gravity

Multiple Choice

An object is pushed off a ledge the initial velocity in the downward direction (y) is

9.8

depends on the mass

v_o

y component velocity

v_fy=v_iy+at
v_iy=0
v_fy=gt

Fill in the Blanks

It take 6 seconds for a ball pushed from a ledge to hit the ground what is the final velocity achieved in the y direction? tenths

Type answer...

y component displacement

$\Delta y=v_{i_{ }}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y_{f_{ }}=h+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Y displacement

y_i=height

the object returns to origin along the y axis

y_f=0

Time in both x and y direction is the same

solving time y direction

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$
$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Fill in the Blanks

A ball is shoved from a height of 20 meters what is the time it takes to fall? ones place

Type answer...

Fill in the Blanks

A ball sitting on a table that is 1 m high leaves the table with an initial velocity of 4m/s. what is the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground?

round to the nearest thousandths

Type answer...

Solving x displacement

$\Delta x=v_{i_{ }}t$
$\Delta x=v_{i_{ }}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Fill in the Blanks

A book is shoved from a .90 meter table with a velocity of 2m/s . What is the displacement in the x direction? hundredths

Type answer...

Fill in the Blanks

A ball sitting on the table that is 1 m high, leaves the table with a velocity of 4 m/s. What is the horizontal displacement of the ball? thousandth

Type answer...

final velocity with regards to both x and y components

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$
$v=\sqrt{v_i^2+g^{ }2h}$

Fill in the Blanks

A ball is pushed with an initial velocity of 5 m/s from a height of 6 meters. What is the final velocity? tenths

Type answer...
