Q1-5...

A tennis ball - initially at

rest - is dropped from a
height of 5 m.

1. Which of these answers correctly labels

the letters 's', 'v' and 'u' in the 'suvats'
equations?

A. s= speed, v = initial velocity, u =

final velocity
B. s= speed, v = final velocity, u =
B
initial velocity
C. s= displacement, v = initial
velocity, u = final velocity
D. s= displacement, v = final velocity,
u = initial velocity

2. Which of these answers correctly gives

the values for 's', and 'u' and 'a' in the
'suvats' equations? (No units are given).

A. s= 0, a= 0, u = 0
C
B. s= 0, a = 10, u = 0
C. s= 5, a = 10, u = 0
D. s= 5, a = 10, u = 10

3. Which of these equations can be used

without further calculation to find the impact
velocity?

A. v = u + at A

B. s= ut + ½ at2
C. v2 = u2 + 2as
D. s = ½ (u+v).t

B. 0.5 s
B
C. 1 s
D. 10 s

6&7. A ball is rolled down a steep slope.

The initial velocity is 2 ms-1 and it
accelerates at a rate of 4 ms-2 for 5
seconds.

6. What is the final velocity of the ball?

A. 20 ms-1
D
B. 22 ms-1
C. 24 ms-1

7. How far does the ball roll

in this time?

A. 8 m
B. 28 m A
C. 50 m
D. 60 m

8-10. A stone is thrown

horizontally at 10 ms-1
from a cliff of height 5 m.

ignored.

8. Which of these correctly describes the

changes in the horizontal and vertical
components of velocity of the stone?

Horizontal velocity Vertical velocity

A constant increasing D

B increasing constant

C constant constant

D decreasing increasing

9. What is the vertical velocity of the stone

on impact?

A. 5 ms-1 A
B. 10 ms-1
C. √50 ms-1
