A football is thrown on a long
pass. Compared to the ball’s
initial horizontal velocity, the
velocity at the highest point is
____.

A. greater
B. less
C. the same
The velocity at the highest point of the
ball's trajectory in a projectile motion
is the same as its initial horizontal
velocity. Horizontal velocity remains
constant throughout the projectile's
motion when air resistance is negligible.
Vertical velocity changes due to the
effect of gravity, but the horizontal
velocity remains unchanged.

d. wood
Which one of the following would
not be classified as a total
alternative fuel source?

a. photocells
b. gasohol
c. windmills
d. wood
Wood is not typically classified as a total
alternative fuel source. While it can be used
as a source of heat and energy in some
contexts, it is considered a traditional and
often non-renewable source of fuel. Total
alternative fuel sources are usually those
that are more environmentally friendly and
sustainable, such as solar energy
(photocells), biofuels like gasohol, and wind
energy (windmills).

require which of the following?

a. a large current
b. a large resistance
c. a low joule heat
Appliances with heating elements
require which of the following?

a. a large current
b. a large resistance
c. a low joule heat
Appliances with heating elements require
a large resistance in order to generate
heat through the Joule heating effect
when an electric current passes through
the resistance. This resistance causes
the element to heat up and produce heat
for various applications, such as heating
water or cooking.
