Mac and Tosh are arguing in the cafeteria. Mac says that if he flings the Jell-O with a greater speed it will have a greater inertia. Tosh argues that inertia does not depend upon speed, but rather upon mass. Who is correct?

Mac

suppose that an astronaut throws a rock in outer space at a location far from significant influences of gravity and air resistance. one would expect that the rock would ____

continue in motion with the same speed and direction

the principal advantage of the metric units over english units is that

conversions between units are easier

which of the following would have an effect of decreasing the acceleration of an object

decreasing the mass of the object doubling the net force halving the mass of the object

The acceleration of an object is _____ proportional to the net force and ____ proportional to is mass

directly, inversely

a baseball is traveling upwards towards the peak of its trajectory and slowing down at the constant rate. The direction of the baseball's acceleration is_____

downward

if a rightward moving object experiences an unbalanced force, then the object will have acceleration which is directed to the right.

false

inertia is force that keeps stationary objects at rest and moving objects in motion at a constant velocity.

false

for the following physical situation, identify the forces that are exerted upon the object. A book is at rest upon a table.

force due to gravity normal force

grandma h challenges micheal johnson in the 400 meter dash. Grandma h spins her wheelchair wheels five times and gives up 15 meters from the starting line. MJ makes a complete circle around the track and stops at the starting line. in this race,

grandma henderson has the greatest displacement

for any given motion, displacement is

how far out of place which that object finishes relative to the starting location

an object is moving along a level surface with a constant velocity. the net force acting upon the object is

in the direction of motion zero

mass is expressed in units of _____ and weight is expressed in units of _____

kilograms, newtons

which of the following is a correct metric unit for volume

liters

a scalar is a quantity that is fully described by

magnitude alone

When all individual forces acting on an object are balanced, it is the natural tendency of an object to _____.

maintain its state of motion keep its velocity constant

the amount of matter or stuff in an object is referred to as the ___ of the object

mass

which of the following verbal descriptions best describes the oil drop pattern shown below -----> . . . . . . . . . .. ;

moves at a constant speed, decelerates to a stop, remains at rest

a car with a rightward velocity and a leftward acceleration is

moving to the right and slowing down

An object will not have any inertia if it is

nonsense! All objects have inertia

if you were in a spaceship and fired a cannonball into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to keep the cannonball in motion would be

zero, since no force is necessary to keep an object moving

an object is moving from left to right, its motion is represented by the oil diagram at the right. The object has a ______ velocity and a _______ accleleration . . . . . . . . . . .. -->

rightward, leftward

the ball is experiencing an unbalanced force; it is directed downwards

A sled slides down a hill, reaches the level surface and eventually comes to a stop. the fact that the sled ultimately stops is best explained by

the presence of an unbalanced force can cause a moving object to stop

for any given motion, the velocity is

the rate at which an object position change
