a. The bullet will hit the wall after the mud hits the ground.
b. The bullet will hit the wall at the same time as the mud hits the ground.
c. The bullet will fall short of the wall and hits the ground after the mud does.
d. The bullet and the mud will experience the same vertical displacement until the bullet hits the wall.
d. The bullet and the mud will experience the same vertical displacement until the bullet hits the wall.
A student is holding an apple inside a mini-van. The apple is directly over an ‘X’ taped onto a car mat directly underneath it. Where will the apple land if the student releases the apple while the mini-van travels 100 km/h eastwards?
a. A little west of the X
b. A little east of the X
c. Right on the X
d. It depends on the frame of reference
c. Right on the X
When a projectile is at its highest point in its trajectory, what can be said about its velocity?

a. It will land with the same speed and direction it had initially
b. It will land with the same speed but a different direction that it had initially.
c. It will land with a slower speed and the same direction it had initially
d. It will land with a slower speed and a different direction then it had initially.
b. It will land with the same speed but a different direction that it had initially.
