Equations of motion — practice question

(a)[1]

Define acceleration as the rate at which velocity changes.

(b(i))[2]

Calculate how long object A takes to hit the ground.

(b(ii))[2]

Use your answer from (b)(i) to find $u$.

(c(i))[2]

State and explain whether the time taken for object B to reach the ground is less than, the same as or greater than the time in (b)(i).

(c(ii))[2]

By considering energy, state and explain the effect of the change in release angle on the speed at which B reaches the ground.
