A quantity that has only a magnitude with proper units is called a

scalar

When finding the magnitude of the sum of two vectors, you can directly add the magnitudes of the two vectors.

False

Which of these velocity vs. time graphs above represent an object that undergoes a direction change?

crosses x axis

A specific pendulum has a period of T, given by the equation above. IF the pendulum is moved from the earth where the g is 9/8 m/s2, to Jupiter where it is 26.0 m/s2, the period of the pendulum will

decrease

If an inelastic collision takes place, during the collision, what is conserved?

energy and momentum is conserved

Which of the following quantities are scalars.

speed, distance, mass

The frictional force that holds an object in place is called ______ friction.

static

Why can you not use conservation of linear momentum during the upward swing?

There are external forces acting plus the pendulum is moving at a curve

Which of these position vs. time graphs above represent an object that undergoes a direction change?

changes from positive to negative slope (or other way around)

The coefficient of static friction is always _______ the coefficient of kinetic friction.

greater than

A specific pendulum has a period of T, given by the equation above. If the length of the string, L, is increased, the period will

increase

If the force applied on an object is greater than the force of kinetic friction the object will travel with ________ velocity.

increasing

What principles can you use to find the speed of the block at the base of the incline.

kinematics and conservation of mechanical energy

The frictional force that slows an object down while in motion is called ______ friction.

kinetic

Which of these velocity vs. time graphs above represent an object moving with decreasing speed?

magnitude of slope decreases

Which of these position vs. time graphs above represent motion with increasing speed?

magnitude of slope increases

Why can you apply conservation of linear momentum during the brief period before and after the collision?

there are no external forces acting on the pendulum

The coefficient of friction can be zero, meaning there is no friction between the two surfaces.

false

Which of these velocity vs. time graphs above represent and object moving with increasing acceleration?

magnitude of slope increases

If a completely elastic collision takes place, during the collision, what is conserved?

mechanical energy, momentum, and energy is conserved

Which of these position vs. time graphs above represent an object moving only in the positive direction?

positive slope

Which of these velocity vs. time graphs represent an object moving only in the positive direction?

positive slope
