(updated 29 May 2023)

Take this Mini-Quiz to check your understanding of the lesson material.


QUIZ

Self-check your understanding

  1. If you know how long an object has been falling, what information can you calculate?

  2. How far has a falling object traveled when it reaches a velocity of 8 ft/s?

  3. What is the equation for the time it takes to fall a given displacement?

Pick an answer to see instant feedback. Re-read the lesson if you miss one.

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in Physics. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
