the very top of the path of the ball the acceleration is__________.
A. Vertical only C. Both vertical and horizontal

is constant, assuming that there is no friction acting on the ball?
A. Air motion C. Ground motion
B. Vertical motion D. Horizontal motion

target?

B. Aim to position the gun lower than the target point.
C. Position the gun at the same level with the target point.
D. Position the gun at any angle as long as it will hit the target point.

angles 450,600, and 300.
___9. From the graph, at what launch angle will give the farthest range (horizontal distance)?
A. At 00 C. At 450
B. At 300 D. At 600
___10. From the graph, at what launch angle will give the maximum height (vertical distance)?
A. At 00 C. At 450
0
B. At 30 D. At 600
___11. What relationship is observed between the launch angle and the maximum height of the projectile?
A. The launch angle does not affect the maximum height.
B. As the launch angle increases, the maximum height increases.
C. As the launch angle increases, the maximum height decreases.
D. There is no relationship between the launch angle and the maximum height.

determined at the moment of take-off which includes ___________.
A. Projection mass and angle C. Projection velocity and angle
B. Projection range and angle D. Projection mass and velocity

B. To the right D. Down and to the right
___17. Manny Pacquiao, a famous boxer usually moves his head backwards when he sees he is going to
receive a punch on the head. What does his head motion accomplish?
A. It causes confusion on the opponent
B. It increases the momentum and decreases the force.
C. It increases the contact time which decreased the force.
D. It decreases the contact time which decreased the force.
