What is the resulting magnitude of a null vector (zero vector) as described in the sources?
The sources define a null vector as having zero magnitude, and because of this, its direction cannot be specified.
2 / 25

At the point of maximum height, the vertical component of velocity \( v_{ y } \) is zero.
3 / 25
When a vector \( \mathbf{ A } \) is multiplied by a negative number \( -\lambda \), what happens to its direction according to the sources?
Multiplying a vector \( mathbf{ A } \) by a negative number gives a vector whose direction is opposite to the direction of \( mathbf{ A } \).
4 / 25
According to the sources, which of the following is true for the kinematic equations of uniform acceleration in circular motion?
The sources state that kinematic equations for uniform acceleration do not apply to uniform circular motion because the direction of acceleration is changing.

The angular speed \( omega \) is defined as the time rate of change of angular displacement.
6 / 25
What is the direction of the acceleration of an object undergoing uniform circular motion?
The acceleration in uniform circular motion is always directed towards the centre of the circle.
7 / 25
According to the sources, what is the direction of the instantaneous velocity of an object at any point on its path?
The direction of velocity at any point on the path of an object is tangential to the path at that point and in the direction of motion.

What are the unit vectors along the \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) axes respectively in a rectangular coordinate system?
The unit vectors used to specify directions along the coordinate axes are denoted by \( hat{ i } \), \( hat{ j } \), and \( hat{ k } \).

For a given projection velocity, the horizontal range \( R \) of a projectile is maximum when the projection angle is:
The sources state that the range \( R \) is maximum when \( sin{ 2theta_{ o } } \) is maximum, which occurs at \( 45^{ circ } \).
12 / 25
Which property of vector addition is represented by the equation \( \mathbf{ A } + \mathbf{ B } = \mathbf{ B } + \mathbf{ A } \) in the sources?
The sources state that vector addition is commutative, meaning the order of addition does not change the resultant vector.
13 / 25
Which term, proposed by Newton and meaning “centre-seeking,” is used for the acceleration in circular motion?
The acceleration directed towards the centre is called centripetal acceleration, a term proposed by Newton.
14 / 25
What is the formula for the time of flight \( T_{ f } \) of a projectile according to the sources?
The total time during which the projectile is in flight is given by \( T_{ f } = 2 ( v_{ o } sin{ theta_{ o } } ) / g \).
15 / 25
How is the magnitude of centripetal acceleration \( a_{ c } \) expressed in terms of speed \( v \) and radius \( R \)?
The sources provide the formula for the magnitude of centripetal acceleration as \( a_{ c } = v^{ 2 } / R \).
16 / 25
In two-dimensional motion, the average acceleration vector has the same direction as which other vector?
By definition, the direction of average acceleration is the same as the direction of the change in velocity vector \( Delta mathbf{ v } \).
17 / 25
According to Galileo’s statement in the sources, for which elevations are the ranges of a projectile equal?
Ranges are equal for elevations which exceed or fall short of \( 45^{ circ } \) by equal amounts.
18 / 25
If a vector \( \mathbf{ A } \) makes an angle \( \theta \) with the \( x \)-axis, what is its \( y \)-component \( A_{ y } \) according to the sources?
Using simple trigonometry, the sources show that the \( y \)-component is \( A_{ y } = A sin{ theta } \).
19 / 25
An object that is in flight after being thrown or projected is referred to as a:
The sources define a projectile as an object that is in flight after being thrown or projected, such as a football or cricket ball.
20 / 25
In the graphical method of vector addition, if the tail of vector \( \mathbf{ B } \) is placed at the head of vector \( \mathbf{ A } \), what is the name of this method?
The sources refer to the procedure of arranging vectors head-to-tail to find the resultant as the head-to-tail method or triangle method.
21 / 25
Motion of an object following a circular path at a constant speed is called:
The sources define uniform circular motion as an object following a circular path at a constant speed.
22 / 25
What is the shape of the path followed by a projectile as described in the sources?
The sources demonstrate that the equation of the path of a projectile is that of a parabola.
23 / 25
The magnitude of the resultant \( R \) of two vectors \( \mathbf{ A } \) and \( \mathbf{ B } \) with an angle \( \theta \) between them is given by which law?
The magnitude of the resultant is calculated using the Law of Cosines: \( R = sqrt{ A^{ 2 } + B^{ 2 } + 2AB cos{ theta } } \).
24 / 25
Who was the first to state that the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion are independent of each other?
Galileo first stated the independency of the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion in 1632.
25 / 25
A physical quantity is classified as a vector in the sources if it has both magnitude and direction and obeys which specific law?
The sources state that a vector quantity must have both magnitude and direction and obey the triangle law of addition or the parallelogram law of addition.
