Velocity at Projectile Peak = Zero (Wrong): Only the vertical component reaches zero at the highest point. The horizontal component never changes because there is no horizontal force. Speed at the peak = , the minimum speed during the trajectory.
Heavier Objects Fall Faster (Wrong): In free fall (ignoring air resistance), all objects accelerate at m/ regardless of mass. Galileo established this experimentally. NEET may present a direct comparison question testing this understanding.
Negative Acceleration Always Means Slowing Down (Wrong): Deceleration (slowing down) requires acceleration and velocity to have opposite signs. A body moving in the negative direction with negative acceleration ( in same direction as ) is speeding up, not slowing down.
Area Under x-t Graph = Displacement (Wrong): The slope of the x-t graph is velocity; the area under the x-t graph is , which is not a standard physical quantity. The area under the v-t graph is displacement.
Formula Gives Cumulative Displacement (Wrong): gives displacement only during the nth second. Total displacement after seconds is .
Range is Maximum at 90° (Wrong): is maximum when , i.e., , so . At 90°, , giving zero range (vertical throw).
(Wrong): The correct identity is .
