1. Name the two types of motion relevant to this lab:
a.
b.
2. What is the correct equation to use to determine the horizontal distance traveled by an
object moving at constant velocity?
3. What is the correct equation to use to determine the vertical position of an object that has
been dropped and is falling under the influence of gravity?
4. Why is the vertical motion of an object not affected by its horizontal motion?
5. How far does an object travel horizontally if it has a horizontal speed of 500 meters per
second and travels for 12.5 seconds?
