30s - Q2
Which of the following conditions applies to a projectile at its highest point?
vertical velocity is zero
vertical velocity is greater than the horizontal velocity
vertical velocity is equal to the horizontal velocity

15s - Q3
Which of the following represents the shape of the trajectory of a projectile?
hyperbolic path
parabolic path
circular path
straight path
15s - Q4

-9.8 m/s2
0 m/s
9.8 m/s2
0 m/s2
15s - Q5
What is the acceleration of a projectile in the vertical direction?
0 m/s2
-9.8 m/s2
it depends on the initial velocity
it depends on mass of projectile
15s - Q6
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
the time t for the upward flight is the same as the time for the downward flight.
Maximum range is attained when a projectile is thrown at an angle of 40⁰.
The height of the projectile at any time t is given by the equation:
h = (vi sin θ) t-1/2 gt2
Range, R is equal to the product of the horizontal velocity component vix and the total time of flight, t.
20s - Q7
What happens to the vertical velocity of a projectile launched at an angle during its flight?
It remains constant because gravity only affects horizontal motion.
It decreases due to gravity until it reaches its maximum height, then increases again as it falls back down.
It increases due to gravity.
It changes direction due to gravity.

What do you call the motion of an object with constant acceleration?
constant motion
uniform motion
uniformly accelerated motion

15s - Q13
Does air resistance affect projectile motion?
No, air resistance only affects objects that are not in motion.
Yes, air resistance can slow down a projectile and change its trajectory.
No, air resistance has no effect on projectile motion.
Yes, air resistance can speed up a projectile and change its trajectory.
20s - Q14
What is the difference between a projectile launched horizontally and one launched at an angle?
There is no difference between a projectile launched horizontally and one launched at an angle.
A projectile launched at an angle has both horizontal and vertical initial velocity.
A projectile launched at an angle has only horizontal initial velocity.
A projectile launched at an angle has only vertical initial velocity.
