1Question

Free fall height — calculation method?

Answer

Use last second distance and equations of motion.

2Question

Point motion graphs — slope indicates?

Answer

Velocity of the object.

Object collision — impulse formula?

Answer

Impulse equals change in momentum.

4Question

Projectile motion — key equations?

Answer

Displacement, range, and time formulas.

5Question

Acceleration change — sign effect?

Answer

Determines speeding up or slowing down.

6Question

Moment of inertia — depends on?

Answer

Mass distribution relative to rotation axis.

7Question

Elastic collision — energy conservation?

Answer

Kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

8Question
