Sa1. In one sentence, compare the motion of a projectile when it ascends and when it
descends.

 The motion of a projectile when it ascends and when it descends is that there are no
longer forces or any physical quantity acting on it other than gravitational acceleration (g
= -9.80 m/s2) which tends to pull it downward whereas it reaches its maximum height, it
momentarily stops then acquires the characteristics of an object in free fall.

Sa2. A pebble is projected vertically upward using a sling shot at a velocity of 30.0 m/s.
What is its velocity at a height of 1.0 m?

Sa5. Describe the direction of the flight of the pebble in SA2 3.60 seconds after it was
launched.

 The flight of the pebble in SA2 with 3.60 seconds after it was launched is downwards
because it has a low velocity.
