14. (2pts.) A small squirrel loses its footing and falls 45 feet from a tree branch to the ground at a constant rate of 9 feet for every 2 seconds. Determine whether each statement about the leaf is true. Mark True or False with an X for each of your answer choices. The initial height of the squirrel is 54 feet. The squirrel falls at a rate of $4\frac{1}{2}$ feet every second. The squirrel is 9 feet above the ground after 8 seconds. The squirrel will hit the ground at 10 seconds. True False

Step 1
So, in 1 second, the squirrel falls 9/2 = 4.5 feet. Show more…

Are the statements below true or false? For each you must explain your answer. 1. When an object is thrown upwards, its acceleration is zero at its highest point. 2. If a falling object travels 20 m in T seconds, it travels 40 m in 2T seconds. Assume that the initial velocity is zero. 3. A negative velocity means the acceleration must also be negative at the same time. 4. Doubling the initial velocity of a ball thrown upwards doubles the maximum height it reaches.

TEST II: TRUE or FALSE. Write T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false. 11. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. 12. An object dropped from rest is a projectile. 13. An object that is thrown vertically upward is a projectile. 14. Horizontal forces are required to keep a projectile moving horizontally. 15. Gravity accelerates objects downward and is able to affect the horizontal motion of a projectile. 16. There is only a vertical force acting upon projectiles.
Please help! Is this statement true or false? A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. The speed at which it is launched equals the speed at which it lands. (Assume negligible air resistance.)
