D. upward during both ascent and descent
2. A baseball is thrown vertically into the air. What is the acceleration of the ball at its highest point?
A. zero B. g, down C. g, up D. 2g, down
3. An object is shot vertically upward. While it is rising
A. its velocity and acceleration are both upward
B. its velocity is upward and its acceleration is downward
C. its velocity and acceleration are both downward
D. its velocity is downward and its acceleration is upward
4. A bullet shot horizontally from a gun
A. strikes the ground much later than one dropped vertically from the same point at the same instant
B. never strikes the ground
C. strikes the ground at approximately the same time as one dropped vertically from the same point at the same
instant
D. travels in a straight line
5. Which of the following statements is not true about projectile motion?
A. Horizontal velocity of projectiles is constant.
B. It is a combination of two independent motions- vertical and horizontal.
C. The motion of the projectile released vertically downward is accelerated.
D. Both horizontal and vertical velocities are constant.
6. For an object moving in uniform circular motion,
a. the velocity is constant
b. the speed is changing but the direction is constant
c. the direction is changing but the speed is constant
d. both speed and direction are changing
