As an object freely falls downward from rest: - CORRECT ANSWER its velocity
increases
If an object falling freely downward from rest were somehow equipped with an odometer
to measure the distance it travels, then the amount of distance it travels in each
succeeding second would be - CORRECT ANSWER greater than the previous second
Ten seconds after starting from rest, an object falling freely downward will have a speed
of about - CORRECT ANSWER 100 m/s
A ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down. Neglecting air
resistance, its speed when caught is: - CORRECT ANSWER the same as the speed it
had when thrown upwards
At one instant an object in free fall is moving downward at 50 meters per second. One
second later its speed is about: - CORRECT ANSWER 60 m/s
At one instant an object in free fall is moving upward at 50 meters per second. One
second later its speed is about: - CORRECT ANSWER 40 m/s
Disregarding air resistance, objects fall with constant - CORRECT ANSWER
acceleration
One half second after starting from rest, a freely-falling object will have a speed of
about: - CORRECT ANSWER 5 m/s

QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
It takes 6 seconds for a stone to fall to the bottom of a mine shaft. How deep is the
shaft? - CORRECT ANSWER about 180 m
If you drop an object, it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters per second per
second. If you instead throw it downwards, its acceleration after it leaves the hand (in
the absence of air resistance) will be: - CORRECT ANSWER 9.8 m/s^2
In each second of fall, the distance a freely falling object will fall during that second is: -
CORRECT ANSWER increasing
If a projectile is fired straight up at a speed of 10 m/s, the time it takes to reach the top
of its path is about: - CORRECT ANSWER 1 second
If a projectile is fired straight up at a speed of 10 m/s, the total time to return to its
starting position is about: - CORRECT ANSWER 2 seconds
When a rock thrown straight upwards gets to the exact top of its path, its - CORRECT
ANSWER velocity is zero and its acceleration is about 10 m/s/s
A bullet is fired straight down from the top of a high cliff. Neglecting air resistance, the
acceleration of the bullet in meters per second per second is: - CORRECT ANSWER
9.8 m/s/s

QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
A bullet is dropped into a river from a very high bridge. At the same time, another bullet
is fired from a gun, straight down towards the water. Neglecting air resistance, the
acceleration just before striking the water: - CORRECT ANSWER is the same for
each bullet
Someone standing at the edge of a cliff throws one ball straight up and another ball
straight down at the same initial speed. Neglecting air resistance, the ball to hit the
ground below the cliff with the greater speed will be: - CORRECT ANSWER neither--
they will both hit with the same speed
A ball is thrown upwards. Neglecting air resistance, what initial upward speed does the
ball need to remain in the air for a total time of 10 seconds? - CORRECT ANSWER
about 50 m/s
A ball is thrown 125 meters upward and then falls the same distance back to Earth.
Neglecting air resistance, its total time in the air is about: - CORRECT ANSWER 10
seconds

second is about: - CORRECT ANSWER 1.2 m
A man leans over the edge of a cliff and throws a rock upward at 4.9 m/s. Neglecting air
resistance, one second later the rock's speed is: - CORRECT ANSWER 4.9 m/s
