Test your understanding of lesson 2.3: vertical motion under gravity with 5 practice questions.

Practice Questions

Question 1

What is the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth?

Question 2

If an object is thrown upwards with a velocity of $20 \, \text{m/s}$, what will be its velocity at the highest point of its trajectory?

Question 3

Using the SUVAT equations, what is the maximum height reached by an object thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of $14 \, \text{m/s}$? Assume $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$.

Question 4

What is the time taken for an object thrown upwards at $30 \, \text{m/s}$ to reach its maximum height?

Question 5

If an object is dropped from a height of $20 \, \text{m}$, what is the time of flight until it reaches the ground? (Assuming no air resistance and using $g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$.)
