Name ____________________________________ Section __________

1. The horizontal component of the velocity of a projectile in free fall is (constant / accelerating) ________ and the vertical component is (constant / accelerating) _________ .

2. The horizontal distance a ball travels down the field is called the ____________________ . 3. The vertical component of the velocity determines what two issues regarding a projectile in free flight? Distance __________________________ Time _____________________________ 4. Fill in the blank with 1/25, 1/5, same, 5 times, 25 times. Two balls are kicked off the ground so Ball Bs horizontal component is 5 times greater than Ball As, and Ball Bs vertical component is the same as As. Ball Bs maximum height is ____________ Ball As. Ball B is in the air for a time that is ________________ the time that ball A is in the air. Ball Bs range is _____________ Ball As range. 5. Fill in the blank with greater than, less than, or the same as. Two balls A and B leave the ground with the same initial speed. Ball A is kicked at 30 and ball B is kicked at 60. The range of A is _______________ the range of B. The height A is ___________ as the height of B. The time A is in the air is ___________ the time B is in the air. Ball A is kicked at 60 and ball B is kicked at 45. The range of A is _______________ the range of B. The height A is ___________ as the height of B. The time A is in the air is ___________ the time B is in the air. Ball A is kicked at 20 and ball B is kicked at 55. The range of A is _______________ the range of B. The height A is ___________ as the height of B. 6. When ball A is kicked in the air, if there is no gravity the ball will have a straight line trajectory (see fig. above). If there is gravity, neglecting air resistance, how far below the straight line trajectory, in meters will the ball be, 5 seconds into flight (hint: d = g t2) _________________________________? 7. According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, between any two masses A and B there is an force (see ppt lecture for Ch 9, Law of Universal Gravitation slide). This force (increases / decreases) ______________________________ with increasing mass of the objects and (increases / decreases) _____________________________ with increasing A B separation distance.

8. The force of the Earth acting on the Sun and the force of the Sun acting on the Earth are the same because they are an ___________________________ ___________________________________pair.

9. A law regarding force, with distance squared in the denominator is an _____________ ______________ law. 10. Planets A and B orbit a star. A and B have the same mass but B is four times farther from the star than A. The force of the star on A is (how many times) the force of the star on B?

11. Planets A and B orbit a star. Planet A has 5 times the mass of planet B and the star has 300 times the mass of planet A. The force of the star on planet A is (greater than / less than / equal to) force of the star on planet B. the force of planet A on the

star. The force of the star on planet A is ___________________(how many?) times the

12. Mr. Face weighs 400 N on the surface of Planet A (below). How much does Mr. Face weigh on each planet below? (B and C, 2 points each; D, 3 points)
Planet B has four times the mass and the same size as A. Planet C has a quarter the radius and the same mass as A. Planet D has twice the radius and four times the mass of A.

400 lb

13. If Mr. Face did actually weigh 400 N on Planet A, and if Planet A had the same gravitational force as the Earth, what would Mr. Faces mass be on Planet A? (hint: Fg = mg) ______________________________

14. What would Mr. Faces mass be on planet B? ________________________________________________
