Physics 11

Part A: Multiple Choice (1pt each) - Circle the most correct response. 1. The two natural states of motion are: a. Rest and constant motion b. Rest and acceleration c. Kinetic and static d. None of the above are correct 2. An object in constant motion has: a. Zero displacement b. Zero velocity c. Zero acceleration d. Negative acceleration

3. An airplane is moving at constant velocity in a straight, level flight. What is the net force acting on the plane? a. Zero b. Upward c. Downward d. In the direction of motion

4. According to inertia, if an object was pushed on a frictionless surface so that it was given an initial velocity of 3.0m/s it would: a. Decelerate based on the surface it was on until it eventually stops b. Decelerate based on its mass until it eventually stops c. Continue at 3.0m/s for an infinite amount of time d. There is not enough information to determine the outcome

5. A ball with mass m1 is dropped from the roof of a 10-story building. At the same instant, another ball of mass 2m1 is dropped out of a ninth-story window, 5m below the roof. The distance between the balls during the flight: a. Remains at 5m throughout the fall b. Increases c. Decreases d. Depends on the ratio between the two masses

6. A cable on an elevator exerts a 6000N force upwards. The force of gravity pulling the elevator downward is 4000N. The elevator could be: a. Moving upward with constant speed b. Moving upward with a decreasing speed c. Moving downward with an increasing speed d. Moving upward with an increasing speed

7. Newtons second law says that: a. Fnet = 0 b. Fnet = ma

c. FA on B = -FB on A d. An object in motion wants to stay in motion 8. If an object had a positive net force, which of the following statements is most correct? a. It would be moving at constant speed b. It would be accelerating in direction opposite of motion c. It would be accelerating in the direction of motion d. We do not have enough information to make a prediction

Part B: Constructed Response ALL questions must have at least one fully described free body diagram and all work must be shown for full value, unless otherwise stated

9. A 20.0kg box rests on a table. a. What is the weight of the box and the normal force acting on it? (2pts)

b. A 10.0kg box is placed on top of the 20.0kg box. Determine the normal force that the table exerts on the 20.0kg box and the normal force that the 20.0kg box exerts on the 10.0kg box. (3pts)

10. A person stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale briefly reads only 75% of the persons regular weight. Calculate the acceleration of the elevator and the direction of the acceleration. (3pts)

11. What net force is required to stop a 1200kg car in 4.0s if it is travelling at 35m/s? You do not have to draw a free body diagram for this question. (2pts)

12. A force of 48.0N is required to start a 5.0 kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor. a. What is the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor? (3pts)

b. If the 48.0N force continues, the box accelerates at 0.65m/s2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? (4pts)

13. Calculate the net force and its direction if the following three forces are being applied at the same time (4pts): F1 = 40N [S] F2 = 60N [N25W] F3 = 35N [S35E]
