You throw a tennis ball to your friend, who catches it at the same height it was released from. The ball reaches its maximum altitude

In half the time it is in the air

An acceleration may result from

Increase in speed, decrease in speed or a change in direction

The coefficient of kinetic friction

Is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction

The prefix giga- means?

10^9

Act on different objects

The free fall motion described in this section applies to

An object dropped from rest, and object thrown vertically downward, and an object thrown vertically upwards upwards.

A vector quantity has

Both direction and magnitude

A change in gravitational potential energy...

Depends only on the initial and final positions

The acceleration of an object is

Directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass

An object is thrown straight upward. At its maximum height

Its velocity is zero

A unit vector has

Magnitude and direction

What are the base units for length, mass and time in the SI system?

Mass, Kilogram and seconds

A pitcher throws a fastball, when the catcher catches it..

Negative work is done

Give 2 examples of derived units in the SI system

Newtons and Liters

You move a heavy object by pushing on a handle that is attached to the object at an angle. Compare the normal force on the object to the weight force on the object.

Normal force is greater than the weight

A scalar quantity has

Only magnitude

The net force of an object is zero. Which of the following statements is most correct?

The object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity

A cannon launches two projectiles with the same initial speed. Projectile A is launched at 20 degrees above the horizontal. projectile B is launched at 70 degrees above the horizontal. Which projectile travels a greater horizontal distance?

Same distance

Two marbles roll simultaneous off either side of a table. Both marbles leave the edge of the table at the same time, but with different velocities. Which marble hits the ground first?

Same time

Distance is to displacement as

Speed is to velocity

two springs are identical except for their spring constants k2 > k1. If the same force is used to stretch the springs,

Spring 1 will be stretched farther than spring 2

Which of the following is not a unit of power

Watts x seconds

You apply the same force to a car and a truck. The truck has two times the mass of the car.

The car will have twice the acceleration of the truck

Impulse is equal to

The change in momentum

Unit analysis of an equation can tell you if

The equation is dimensionally correct

A 25,000 kg truck collides with a 2,500 kg car. Compare the force exerted on the car(by the truck) to the force exerted on the truck(by the car).

The force on the truck is the same as the force on the car (equal and opposite reactions)

If a nonconservative force acts on an object, and does work, then

The mechanical energy is not conserved
