Here are the answers to the questions you provided:
Question 1
Which is a vector quantity?
- a. velocity
Question 2
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
- c. Distance is the length of travel. Displacement is the straight line distance between the starting point and the ending point.
Question 3
Choose all of the following that represent scalars.
- b. time
- d. mass
- e. volume
(Accelaration, position, and velocity are vector quantities.)
Question 4
Which of the following is the scalar value?
- a. Distance
Question 5
Where was the object after 2 seconds?
- b. 6m
Question 6
Find the displacement in the time interval 3 seconds to 4 seconds.
- b. 1 m
Question 7
When did the object reach 12 m beyond the starting point?
- b. 5 sec
Question 8
According to the position vs time graph below, at what time did David first start to move in a positive velocity (forward direction)?
- a. At 3 minutes
Question 9
On a position versus time graph, if an object is not moving, what will the shape of this graph be?
- a. Horizontal
Question 10
From 0 seconds to 15 seconds, what is true about the car?
- a. It has a negative acceleration
Question 11
If a car is traveling 50 km/hr, how many km will it cover in 2 hours?
- c. 100 km (v = d/t => d = v * t = 50 km/hr * 2 hr)
Question 12
If Mrs. Wade goes a distance of 10 m in 5 seconds, what is her velocity?
- a. 2 m/s (v = d/t => v = 10m/5s)
Question 13
Acceleration is a change in motion over time
- True
Question 14
Which of the following is an example of negative acceleration?
- b. a car slowing down at a stoplight
Question 15
If a car starts at rest and accelerates to 40 m/s in a time of 10 s. What is the acceleration of the car?
- c. 4 m/s² (a = (v_final - v_initial) / time = (40 m/s - 0) / 10 s)
Question 16
Magnitude is a measure of how strong a force is.
- True
Question 17
The picture above represents an example of:
- a. unbalanced forces (This can only be answered correctly with the image, but typically, without a neutral net force or equal opposition, unbalanced forces are implied.)
Question 18
When two forces are in opposite directions, and they are the exact same magnitude, the forces will:
- d. cancel out
Question 19
When forces are in opposite directions, they subtract from one another.
- True
Question 20
In the picture above, which of the following is true?
- a. both are examples of vectors (This answer relies on the actual images for correct interpretation.)
Question 21
When same vectors are in the same direction they add. When same vectors are in opposite directions, they:
- d. subtract
Question 22
In the picture above, calculate the Net force for each force diagram. Choose the correct answer in order from top to bottom.
- (Answer depends on the diagrams provided.)
Question 23
Which of the following is an example of Newton's First Law?
- c. A stationary book on the table must be picked up in order for it to move
Question 24
Susan gently pushes the tip of her finger against the eraser on her pencil and the pencil does not move. Which of the following figures best illustrates the interaction of forces between Susan’s finger and her pencil?
- (Answer depends on the images provided.)
Question 25
What is the net force acting on the block? Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? How will the block move?
- d. The net force on the block is 11 N. The forces are unbalanced. The block will move to the right.
Question 26
An object is moving at a constant speed. If a balanced force is applied in the opposite direction the object is moving, what will most likely happen?
- d. The object will slow down and eventually stop moving.
