10 - 2D Motion Questions

1 / 10

What is the actual speed of a ball is thrown with an X component velocity of 7 m/s forward and a Y component of velocity of 30 m/s up when at the top of it's flight path?

At the top of a flight path the y component of velocity is 0 m/s temporarily so speed is only made up of the horizontal component.  So 7 m/s here.

Projectile Motion

2 / 10

What angle would you throw a ball to get the greatest Y axis distance?

45 degrees the furthest downrange

The greater the angle to the horizontal the further up but less downrange.  Directly up or 90° would get you the greatest height (Y axis distance)

3 / 10

20 degrees north is a

A scalar has a magnitude only which includes a number and unit (15 meters)

A vector has a magnitude and a direction (15 meters north)

4 / 10

North is a

A vector has a magnitude and a direction (15 meters north)

5 / 10

A vector includes

A scalar has a magnitude only which includes a number and unit (15 meters)

A vector has a magnitude and a direction (15 meters north)

6 / 10

What is the direction of the resultant of 50 meters north and 72 meters west?

resultant of 50 meters north and 75 meters west

7 / 10

35 degrees

How would you describe the direction above?

The direction is 35 degrees in the south direction.  The south direction is from the baseline east.

8 / 10

4 and 10 M Vector

What is the minimum magnitude of vector A and B in any arrangement?

Magnitude includes the number and a unit.  Since no numbers are involved the length of the arrow represents the magnitude.  The directions are pointing the same way but the lengths are different.

Vector Minimum Maximum and Right Angle

Maximum is B + A or A + B

9 / 10

What is the maximum these two vectors can be when added together?

Question Image

Maximum of two vectors

The maximum is when you put the two vectors in the same direction head to tail.  Had to tail means the second starts where the last left off.
