Worked practice questions

As per your syllabus, the horizontal and vertical velocities at the moment of impact depend on which factors?

  1. Both shrink to zero at impact
  2. v_x stays v₀ ; v_y = g·t
  3. Only on cliff height h
  4. Only on the launch angle θ
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. v_x stays v₀ ; v_y = g·t

syllabus Ex 3.7: x-component is unchanged (a_x = 0) y-component grows as gt downward. Independent components.

As per your syllabus, in UNIFORM circular motion, what stays constant and what changes?

  1. Both v and direction constant
  2. Direction constant; speed changes
  3. Speed constant; direction of v changes
  4. Both v and direction change
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Speed constant; direction of v changes

Your syllabus: 'uniform' means speed |v| is constant direction of v continually changes (tangent to circle).

As per your syllabus, eqn 3.43, the magnitude of the CENTRIPETAL acceleration in UCM is which?

  1. v² / R
  2. v / R
  3. v² / R²
  4. v R
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. v² / R

syllabus eqn 3.43: a_c = v²/R. Always directed towards the centre.
