The average speed would be 0.65 m/s, therefore the correct option is (A).
The average speed is calculated by the formula
Average speed= (total distance/ total time)
The total distance of the trip=9.5+3.5+15=28 m
The total time of trip=43 sec
Therefore the average speed=28/43=0.65 m/s.
C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction
Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

where
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)
downward is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
So the equation becomes

This means that
C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases
Because every second, it increases by
in the downward direction.
