Questions and Answers

What is the acceleration of an object in free fall near the surface of the Earth?

$-4.9 ext{ m/s}^2$

$-9.81 ext{ m/s}^2$ (correct)

$0 ext{ m/s}^2$

$9.81 ext{ m/s}^2$ upward

Which of the following describes the effects of air resistance on a falling object?

It increases the acceleration of the object.

It results in a net force that opposes gravity. (correct)

It decreases the velocity to zero instantly.

It has no effect on the falling object's motion.

If a bumblebee jumps straight up with a velocity of $14.0 ext{ m/s}$, what is the formula to calculate its displacement after $1.80 ext{ s}$?

$d = v_0^2 t$

$d = v_0 imes t - rac{1}{2} g t^2$

$d = v imes t$ (correct)

$d = rac{1}{2} g t^2$

Study Notes

Acceleration and Free Fall and Projectile Motion

Topics covered include acceleration, velocity, and projectile motion.
The review section covers distance, displacement, scalar and vector quantities, speed and velocity in linear motion, and resultant vectors.
Key concepts in the presentation include the definition of a vector quantity
A vector quantity is any quantity in physics that has both magnitude and direction.
The length and direction of a vector should be drawn to a reasonable scale size to represent its magnitude.
When two vectors are perpendicular, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the resultant vector.
Calculations for acceleration and displacement, including unit conversions, are provided in the presentation.
Example problems involve a car accelerating, an object dropped from a height, and a ball thrown vertically downwards.
Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) is discussed, including formulas and example problems.
Equations applicable to motion with constant acceleration are given to find displacement and velocity given initial conditions.
Sample problems and examples of how to perform calculations for UAM are provided.
The importance of using units correctly is emphasized.
In free fall, acceleration is a vector and gravity acts downwards, so acceleration of a falling object is represented as -g = -9.81 m/s2.
Equations and formulas are given to solve acceleration problems.
An investigation of air resistance and its impact on falling objects is discussed.
Concepts of Galileo's and Aristotle's theories on falling objects are presented.
The presentation covers projectile motion.
Concepts of velocity, acceleration, and the path of a projectile are covered.
Example diagrams and equations for the path of a projectile are also included.
The acceleration due to gravity at different locations on Earth is presented, which is a constant -9.81 m/s2.
The slides discuss what would happen if air resistance is not considered.
A variety of example problems are displayed and solved.
A performance task related to an egg drop experiment covering free fall concepts is given, with the materials required and the procedure to execute as part of the instructions.
