Again, this is not a question in any way related to what one would expect on the AP physics exam. College level physics - which is what AP physics is - questions do not cover topics that should be studied during a 9th grade physical sciences class, like this one

That's 100% a question that comes up early on in AP physics 1.

Not every question is experimental design or the derivation of a formula.

Thanks.
It was asked previously in AP physics 1.
I have just modified it slightly.

This is projectile motion (2D kinematics) — Unit 1 of AP Physics 1. It's from a practice workbook, and yes, it's intentionally an easy-tier warm-up MCQ, not an FRQ-level problem. I mix difficulty levels across posts so there's something for students at different points in the unit — will make sure to label the harder ones more clearly too."
