If a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer, its speed reading would increase each second by about
10 m/s.
Ten seconds after starting from rest, a freely falling object on Earth will have a speed of about
100 m/s

10N

2
The average speed of a horse that gallops a distance of 10 km in a time of 30 minutes is
20 km/hr
A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s/s. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car?
2000 N
A 300-kg bear grasping a vertical tree slides down at constant velocity. The friction force between the tree and the bear is
3000 N.
What is the force of gravity on a 500-N woman standing on earth's surface?
500 N
A person is attracted toward the center of the earth by a 500-N gravitational force. The force of attraction of earth toward the person is
500N
A skydiver who weighs 500 N reaches terminal velocity of 90 km/hr. The air resistance on the skydiver is then
500N
An object is pulled northward with a force of 10 N and southward qwith a force of 15 N. The magnitude of the net force on the object is
5N
A block is dragged without acceleration in a straight-line path across a level surface by a force of 6 N. What is the force of friction between the block and the surface?
6 N
The weight of 0.6 kg of salami is about
6 N
If a car increases its velocity from 0 to 60 km/hr in 10 seconds, its acceleration is
6 km/hr/s.
The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are
distance and time.
An object is place exactly halfway between earth and the moon. The object will fall toward the
earth
A player hits a ball with a bat. The action force is the impact of the bat against the ball. The reaction to this force is the
force of the ball against the bat.
If a freely falling object were somehow equipped with an odometer to measure the distance it travels, then the amount of distance it travels each succeeding second would be
greater than the second before.
According to Newton, the greater the masses of interacting objects, the
greater the gravitational force between them.
If an object's mass is decreasing while a constant force is applied to the objct, the acceleration
increases
When the distance between two stars decreases by half, the force between them
increases to four times as much.
According to Newton, the greater the distance between masses of interacting objects, the
less the gravitational force between them.
A kilogram is a measure of an object's
mass
A Mack truck and a Volkswagen traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision. The impact force is greater on the
same for both
A car traveling at 00 km/hr strikes and unfortunate bug and splatters it. The force of impact is greater on the
same for both.
A light woman and a heavy man jump from an airplane at the same time and open their same-size parachutes at the same time. Which person will get to a state of zero zcceleration first?
the light woman
A sheet of paper can be withdrawn from under a container of milk without topplin it if the paper is jerked quickly. This demonstrates that
the milk carton has inertia.
As a ball falls, the action force is the pull of Earth's mass on the ball. The reaction force is
the pull of the ball's mas on Earth.
Compared with the mass of a certain object on earth, the mass of the same object on the moon is
the same
A heavy object and a light object are dropped at the same time in a vacuum. The heavier object reaches the ground
at the same time as the light object.
Arnold Strongman nd Suzie Small each pull very hard on opposite ends of a rope in a tug-of-war. The greatest force on the rope is exerted by
both the same, interestingly enough.
Which of the following is the definition for the term "mass"?
The amount of material contained within an object.
A Mack truck and a Volkswagen traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision. The vehicle to undergo the greatest change in velocity will be the
Volkswagen.
When graphing data, the independent variable should be placed on the
X axis.
Disregarding air resistance, objects fall at constant
acceleration
While a car travels around a circular track at constant speed, its
acceleration is changing.
An object travels 8 m in the first second, 8 m again during the second second, and 8 m again during the second second. Its acceleration is therefore
0 m/s/s = zero m/s/s
Arnold Strongman and Suzie Small have a tug-of-war on a polished floor. Arnold wears socks and Susie wears gym shoes. The likely winner is
Suzie
When graphing data, the point at which the X and Y axes meet must always be labeled as "0".
False
An object on which the sum of all the forces is zero is an object I. at rest. II. moving with constant velocity. III. having no acceleration.
I., II. and III.
If the mass of earth somehow increased with no change in radius, your weight would
Increase also.
An investigation was performed to see if corn seeds would sprout at different times depending on the temperature of the water in which they were placed. Identify the dependent variable in this experiment.
the sprouting time
When a squid pushed against the water, the squid moves forward because
the water pushed against the squid.
As an object freely falls, its
velocity increases.
When a falling object has reached its terminal velocity, its acceleration is
zero
