Physics Problem Solving and Analysis

This document contains the solutions to multiple choice and free response physics problems: 1) The first five items are multiple choice questions with the answers A through E. 2) Question 6 calculates the time for an object to reach maximum height and fall back down, finding the total time is 5.8 seconds. 3) Question 7 involves analyzing experimental data to determine relationships between velocity and number of bounces. It investigates the uncertainty, develops a curve fitting equation, and checks the hypothesis.

Award [1 max] for 91 m or 91.25 m (candidate adds cliff height incorrectly).

(b) time to reach maximum height = 1.5 s;


time to fall 91 m = 4.3 s;
total time = 5.8 s; 3
Answer can be alternatively expressed as 3.0 (to return to hand)
+ 2.8 (to fall 80 m).
