height of 15 m above the edge and then falls to the bottom of the cliff, 35 m below
the cliff. What is the travel distance of the rock?
A. 30m B. 35 m C. 50 m D. 65 m
A. 15 m B. 35 m C. 50 m D. 65 m

Free Falling = object moving vertically under the influence of gravity.
19. A rock is thrown straight up with twice the initial velocity of another. How much higher
will the first rock be at its apex?
A. 2 times B. 4 times C. 16 times D. Same apex point
20. A student drops a pebble from the edge of a vertical cliff. The pebble hits the ground 4
s after it was dropped. What is the speed of the pebble just before it hits the ground?
A. 20 m/s B. 40 m/s C. 60 m/s D. 80 m/s
21. A car initially at rest accelerates at 4 m/s 2 while covering a distance of 100 m. Then
the car continues at constant velocity for 500 m. Finally, it slows to a stop with a
deceleration of 3 m/s2. Determine the total time of this displacement.
v = v0 + at
x = x0 + v0t + ½ at2
v2 = v02 + 2ax
d1 = 100 m d2 = 500m d3 = ? m

B. The moon's gravity is much weaker than the earth's gravity
C. The same gravitational force is applied on both objects on the moon
D. At the given location all objects fall with the same acceleration in the absence of
air resistance.
