ANSWERS EXPLAINED
Section I: Multiple-Choice

1. (D) Twice the initial vertical velocity will give twice the time in flight. Average vertical
velocity will also be doubled. Displacement is the product of these two: 2 × 2 = 4.

Alternatively, one could use v2 = v02 + 2ad since v at the maximum height is zero. Since
v0 is doubled and then squared, the vertical displacement d must be 4 times bigger.

Free-fall problems are independent of mass.

2. (C) Conservation of momentum:

Ptot = 2(+4) + 5(–1) = +3 kg m/s = mv = (7 kg)v

v = +3/7 m/s

The collision is inelastic since the carts stick together.

3. (D) Higher altitude is strictly a function of VY (Projectile Y). Range is a function of both
VX and VY such that the angles equally above and below 45 degrees (the max angle for
range) will result in equal horizontal displacement. 30 degrees and 60 degrees are both
15 degrees off from 45 degrees.
