Thank You for answering

Answer 1

Hey, I already took 8:01, freshman physics.
I am here to help if you get stuck, not to do the problems for you. These are very basic questions

Answer 2

Sorry,
Answers:
1. c
2. d
3. a
4. b

Answer 3

1. c is not correct. a particle moving at constant velocity has no acceleration.
However how could a particle with constant acceleration stay stopped?

Answer 4

2. 45 - 10*3 = 15 which is c

Answer 5

3. The acceleration of g = -9.81 m/s^2 is CONSTANT, even if the speed is zero !

Answer 6

4. It is stopped, but the acceleration is STILL -9.81 m/s^2
from the time it is launched until it hits the ground or something.

Answer 7

1. a

Answer 8

1 d
