Q1-5: A tennis ball - initially at rest - is dropped from a height of 5 m.

Air resistance is negligible as it falls.

 1. Which of these answers correctly labels the letters 's', 'v' and 'u' in the 'suvats' equations?

• B. s= speed, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity
• C. s= displacement, v = initial velocity, u = final velocity
• D. s= displacement, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity

2. Which of these answers correctly gives the approximate values for 's', and 'u' and 'a' in the 'suvats' equations? (No units are given).

• A. s= 0, a= 0, u = 0
• B. s= 0, a = 10, u = 0
• C. s= 5, a = 10, u = 0
