Kinematics: Question 1 of 4

Kinematics: Question 1 of 4
The diagram below shows a worker using a rope to pull a cart.
The worker’s pull on the handle of the cart can best be described as a force having
1. magnitude, only
2. direction, only
3. both magnitude and direction
4. neither magnitude nor direction
Correct Answer Number: 3

Explanation: The worker is pulling with a FORCE. All forces are
vectors i.e. have magnitude and direction
A car travels 90. meters due north in 15 seconds. Then the car turns around and
travels 40. meters due south in 5.0 seconds. What is the magnitude of the average
velocity of the car during this 20.-second interval?
1. 2.5 m/s
2. 5.0 m/s
3. 6.5 m/s
4. 7.0 m/s

Explanation: The basic equation is v = d/t. The DISPLACEMENT of
the car is 90 m - 40 m = 50 m, the total time is 20s. V = 50m/20s
How far will a brick starting from rest fall freely in 3.0 seconds?
1. 15 m
2. 29 m
3. 44 m
4. 88 m

Explanation: Basic equation is d=vit+1/2at2. The block starts from
rest so the initial velocity is zero. The equation becomes d=1/2at2.
The only acceleration the brick feels is the acceleration due to
gravity = 9.81m/s2.
Statics: Question 1 of 5
If the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero, the object will
1. slow down and stop

2. change the direction of its motion
3. accelerate uniformly
4. continue moving with constant velocity

Explanation: For something to change direction or accelerate
there must be an UNBALLANCED force acting on it. Newton’s 1st law
states that an object in motion will stay in motion at constant
velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The graph below represents the relationship between gravitational force and mass for
objects near the surface of Earth.
The slope of the graph represents the
1. acceleration due to gravity

2. universal gravitational constant
3. momentum of objects
4. weight of objects

Explanation: When graphing think of the equation y=mx, y is
equal to the slope times x. Here the y is gravitational force (weight)
and x is mass. W = mg, weight is equal to mass times acceleration
due to gravity. Weight is the "Y", mass is the "X" so the slope has to
be the acceleration due to gravity.
A spring scale reads 20. newtons as it pulls a 5.0-kilogram mass across a table. What
is the magnitude of the force exerted by the mass on the spring scale?
1. 49 N
2. 20. N
3. 5.0 N
4. 4.0 N

Explanation: Action /reaction forces are equal.
Note that this question only has three choices.
The diagram below shows a block sliding down a plane inclined at angle Θ with the
horizontal.
As angle Θ is increased, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bottom surface
of the block and the surface of the incline will
1. decrease
2. Increase
3. remain the same
4.

Explanation: coefficient of kinetic friction is independent of the
angle
An object weighs 100. newtons on Earth’s surface. When it is moved to a point one
Earth radius above Earth’s surface, it will weigh
1. 25.0 N
2. 50.0 N
3. 100. N
4. 400. N

Explanation: Basic equation Fg=Gm1m2/r2. When the object is
moved 1 earth radius away from the earth r is now 2r (on the
surface of the earth the object is 1 earth radius away from the
center of the earth, when the object is moved 1 radius away the
distance is now r+r or 2r).
When you plug (2r)2 into the denominator of the equation it

becomes 4r2. You have to square the 2 as well as the r.
Dynamics: Question 1 of 4
A net force of 10. newtons accelerates an object at 5.0 meters per second2. What net
force would be required to accelerate the same object at 1.0 meter per second2?
1. 1.0 N
2. 2.0 N
3. 5.0 N
4. 50. N

Explanation: Use the equation m=F/a (F=ma) to calculate the
mass of the object, then use F=ma (F=2kg x 1m/s2)to find the force.
A 2.0 x 103-kilogram car travels at a constant speed of 12 meters per second around a
circular curve of radius 30. meters.
What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes around the
curve?
1. 0.40 m/s2
2. 4.8 m/s2
3. 800 m/s2
4. 9,600 m/s2

Explanation: Centripital acceleration is v2/r
A 2.0 x 103-kilogram car travels at a constant speed of 12 meters per second around a
circular curve of radius 30. meters.
As the car goes around the curve, the centripetal force is directed
1. toward the center of the circular curve

2. away from the center of the circular curve
3. tangent to the curve in the direction of motion
4. tangent to the curve opposite the direction of motion

Explanation: centripetal force, and centripetal acceleration,
always point in toward the center of the circle.

uniform, horizontal floor depends most on the

Explanation: Basic equation W=F x d. the work is dependent on
the distance the box is moved.

between the blocks is released, the 1.8-kilogram block moves to the right at 2.0
meters per second, as shown.
What is the speed of the 1.2-kilogram block after the spring is released?
1. 1.4 m/s
2. 2.0 m/s
3. 3.0 m/s

Explanation: The momentum of the system before is equal to the
momentum of the system after or m1v1 = m2v2
v1 = m2v2/m1.

1. decreases
2. increases
3. remains the same
4.

Explanation: The kinetic energy is related to the velocity,
KE=1/2mv2. As an object falls freely the velocity increases and
therefore the kinetic energy increases.
Static Electricity: Question 1 of 3

The diagram below shows three neutral metal spheres, x, y, and z, in contact and on
insulating stands.

positively charged rod is brought near sphere x, but does not touch it?
1.

3.
4.
Which graph best represents the electrostatic force between an alpha particle with a
charge of +2 elementary charges and a positively charged nucleus as a function of
their distance of separation?
1.
2.
3.
4.

Explanation: Basic equation Fe = kq1q2/r 2. K, q1 and q2 all remain
constant throught the problem, the only thing that changes is r, the
distance of seperation. Remember when graphing think of the
equation for a line, y=mx. here we are graphing Fe= a constant/r 2.
Use your graphing calculator to graph y=1/x2.
When a neutral metal sphere is charged by contact with a positively charged glass
rod, the sphere
1. loses electrons
2. gains electrons
3. loses protons

Explanation: To make something positive we are essentially
making it less negative. To make it less negative we would need to
lose electrons. Protons can not be removed from an atom, except in
nuclear reaction that release large amounts of energy.
