8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.
The trajectory of a projectile is described by an equation of the form:
Answer: B. y = x tanθ − gx²/(2u²cos²θ)
Why: Eliminating t from the two components gives a parabola.
The dot product of two mutually perpendicular vectors is:
Answer: B. zero
Why: The dot product A·B = ABcosθ; for perpendicular vectors, θ=90° and cosθ=0, so the dot product is zero.
A projectile is launched at 45° with a speed of 20 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², its horizontal range is:
Answer: A. 40 m
Why: R = u² sin2θ/g = 400 × 1/10 = 40 m.
The dot product of A = 2î + 3ĵ and B = î − ĵ is:
Answer: D. −1
Why: A·B = (2)(1) + (3)(−1) = −1.
A ball thrown vertically up inside a train moving uniformly is seen by a person on the ground to follow:
Answer: B. a parabolic path
Why: The ground observer sees both the vertical motion and the horizontal velocity of the train.
The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors of magnitudes 3 units and 4 units acting at right angles is:
Answer: B. 5 units
Why: R = √(3² + 4²) = 5 units.
The acceleration of a projectile at the highest point of its path is:
Answer: C. g, directed downward
Why: Gravity acts throughout the motion, and air resistance is neglected.
A boat's velocity relative to the water is directed straight across a river. Its velocity relative to the ground is:
Answer: B. the vector sum of its velocity relative to water and the river's velocity
Why: By relative velocity addition, velocity relative to ground = velocity relative to water + velocity of water relative to ground.
