PART 1: Multiple Choice
1.) A 6 kg block is dropped from the roof of a tall building at the same time a 6 kg ball is thrown
horizontally from the same height. Which statement best describes the motion of the block and - /
the ball?
(1) the block hits the ground first because it has no horizontal velocity
(2) the ball hits the ground first because it has a horizontal velocity
(3) the ball and block hit the ground at the same time because they have the same mass (!) the ball and block hit the ground at the same time because they hav!3 the same vertical acceleration 2.) A baseball player throws a baseball at a speed of 40 mls at an angle of 30 0 to the ground. The
