  • ok so if u can plz tell me which one of these are true and which ones are false...thanks!! extra points



    An object dropped from the roof of your house is in free-fall.



    Hang time for a jump depends only on your vertical launch speed.



    Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity.



    Freely falling objects fall about 5 meters in one second from a position of rest.



    The distance vs time graph for a freely falling object is a curved line.



    Acceleration is a change in velocity.


  • I'm not entirely sure about some of these, but an answer is still an answer.



    1. True.



    2. "Hang time?" I know that the horizontal and vertical components are independent of one another. Most likely to be false.



    3. True.



    4. False, I think.



    5. False, I believe.



    6. Yes.


  • Q: An object dropped from the roof of your house is in free-fall.

    A: True.

    Q: Hang time for a jump depends only on your vertical launch speed.

    A: False. It also depends on wind speed, gravity, horizontal launch speed, etc. (If you are in a CP high school course you may not be expected to know this. Answer true in that case.)

    Q: Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity.

    A: False. Free falling objects are also affected by wind resistance. (Again, if you are in a CP high school course you probably won't be expected to know this, so answer true)

    Q: Freely falling objects fall about 5 meters in one second from a position of rest.

    A: True. (The force of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. So, in a second they would fall about half that distance.)

    Q: The distance vs time graph for a freely falling object is a curved line.

    True.

    Q: Acceleration is a change in velocity.

    A: True. (Note to Dr. T: Deceleration is a form of acceleration. It's just negative.)


  • t. t. f. t only for the first second. t. f. it can also decelerate.
