The acceleration due to gravity is lower on the moon than on earth. Which of the following statements is true about the mass and weight of an astronaut on the moon's surface, compared to earth?
Mass is the same ; weight is less
Suppose that an object is moving with a constant velocity. Which statement concerning its acceleration must be correct?
The acceleration is equal to zero
An object is moving with constant non-zero velocity. Which of the following statements must be true?

A 10 kg rock and a 20 kg rock are dropped at the same time and experience no significant air resistance. If the 10 kg rock falls with an acceleration a, what is the acceleration of the 29 kg rock?
a
The slope of a velocity versus time graph gives
acceleration
Human reaction time is usually greater than .10 seconds. If your friend holds a ruler between your fingers and releases it without warning, how far can you expect the ruler to fall before you catch it, neglecting air resistance?
at least 4.9 cm
If a nonzero net force is acting on an object, then the object is definitely
being accelerated
When the angle of an incline with a block resting on it increases, the normal support force
decreases
An object following a straight line path at a constant speed
has zero acceleration
Which of the following is the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion?
intertia
The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is
inversely proportional to the mass, directly proportional to the net force, same direction of the net force

A measure of quantity for matter is
mass
in the absence of an external force, a moving object will
move with constant velocity in a straight line
Two cars collide head on. At every moment during the collision, the magnitude of the force of the first car exerts on the second is exactly equal to the magnitude of the force the second car exerts on the first. This is an example of
newtons third law
To push a piece of heavy furniture across the carpet usually takes more force to get it moving than it takes to keep it moving. This is because
static coefficient of friction is larger than the kinetic friction
