What's the speed of a box before it hits the ground if it falls off a truck moving at 30 m/s?

About 30 m/s

Tie a rock at the end of a string and whirl it in a circle. If the string breaks, the rock will

Follow a straight-line path

If you slam on the breaks in your car, you lurch forward. Why?

Inertia

An object is propelled along a straight path by a force. The mass of the object is doubled.

Its acceleration halves

Which of the following is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Law of Acceleration

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Law of Inertia

An object maintains its state of motion because it has

Mass

It is just as hard to accelerate a car on the Moon as it is on Earth. Why?

Mass of the car is independent of gravity

What is an example of one that is NOT a limitation to Newton's Laws of Motion?

Objects that are on Earth that are experiencing acceleration

1 N accelerates 1 kg at the rate of 1 m/s2. If the mass is doubled and the force is doubled,

The acceleration is the same

A cloth is quickly withdrawn from under a container of milk without moving it. Why?

The milk carton has inertia

A particle is accelerated by a 10-N force. Suddenly the particle encounters 10-N of resistance.

The particle continues at a constant speed

A rock is thrown into the air. At the top of its path, its acceleration is

about 10

If the mass of an object doesn't change, a constant net force produces constant

acceleration

An object is propelled along a straight path by a force. If the net force were doubled, its

acceleration would double

An object following a straight-line path at constant speed

has zero acceleration

If an object's mass is decreasing while a constant force is applied, the acceleration

increases

A scalar involves...

just magnitude

A vector involves...

magnitude and direction

A rocket becomes easier to accelerate as it travels upward, mainly because

the mass of the rocket decreases as fuel is burned

The net force required to maintain an object at a constant velocity is

zero
