Q1 :Q1 A projectile is fired straight up from a car moving with constant horizontal velocity. Where will the projectile land? right back on the car slightly behind the car slightly ahead of the car far behind the car far ahead of the car Car


Q2 :Q2 A baseball is thrown vertically upward into the air. The acceleration of the ball at its highest point is: 9.8 m/s2 down 9.8 m/s2 up changing suddenly from positive to negative zero cannot be calculated without knowing the initial velocity


Q3 :Q3 The vectors a, b, and c are related through vector addition by c = a + b. Which diagram below illustrates this relationship? 1 2 3 4 None of these a a a a b b b b c c c c 1 2 3 4


Q4 :Q4 The diagram represents the straight line motion of a car. Which of the following statements is true? The car accelerates, stops, and reverses The car accelerates at 6 m/s2 for the first 2 s The car is moving for a total time of 12 s The car decelerates at 12 m/s2 for the last 4 s The car returns to its starting point when t = 9s v (m/s) t (s) 2 5 9 12 6


Q5 :Q5 A projectile is shot vertically upward with a given initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 100 m. If, on a second shot, the initial velocity is doubled then the projectile will reach a maximum height of: 70.7 m 141.4 m 200 m 241 m 400 m


Q6 :Q6 A bomber flying in level flight must release its bomb before it is over the target. Neglecting air resistance, which one of the following is NOT true? the bomber will be over the target when the bomb strikes g remains constant for the bomb the horizontal velocity of the plane equals the vertical velocity of the bomb when it hits the target the bomb travels in a curved path the time of flight of the bomb is independent of the horizontal speed of the plane


Q7 :Q7 A 1000 kg elevator is rising and its speed is increasing at 3 m/s2. The tension in the elevator cable is: 6800 N 1000 N 3000 N 9800 N 12,800 N


Q8 :Q8 A heavy wooden block is dragged by a force F along a rough steel plate, as shown below for two cases. The magnitude of the applied force F is the same for both cases. The normal force in (ii), as compared with the normal force in (i) is: the same greater less less for some angles of the incline and greater for others less or greater, depending on the magnitude of the applied force F i F F ii


Q9 :Q9 A fly ball to left field is caught at the same height as it was originally hit. Over its entire flight the work done by gravity and the work done by air resistance, respectively, are: 0; positive 0; negative positive; negative negative; positive negative; negative


Q10 :Q10 Two marbles, one twice as heavy as the other, are dropped to the ground from the roof of a building. Just before hitting the ground, the heavier marble has: As much kinetic energy as the lighter one. Twice as much kinetic energy as the lighter one. Half as much kinetic energy as the lighter one. Four times as much kinetic energy as the lighter one. Impossible to determine


Q11 :Q11 Suppose a ping-pong ball and a bowling ball are rolling toward you. Both have the same momentum, and you exert the same force to stop each. How do the time intervals to stop them compare? It takes less time to stop the ping-pong ball. Both take the same time. It takes more time to stop the ping-pong ball.


Q12 :Q12 Suppose rain falls vertically into an open cart rolling along a straight horizontal track with negligible friction. As a result of the accumulating water, the speed of the cart increases. does not change decreases.


Q13 :Q13 A 75-kg man is riding in a 30-kg cart at 2.0 m/s. He jumps off in such a way as to land on the ground with no horizontal velocity. The resulting change in speed of the cart is: Zero 2.0 m/s 3.0 m/s 4.0 m/s 5.0 m/s


Q14 :Q14 The approximate value of g (in m/s2) at an altitude above Earth’s surface equal to one Earth diameter is: 9.8 4.9 2.5 1.9 1.1


Q15 :Q15 The moon does not crash into the Earth because: The net force on it is zero It is beyond the pull of Earth’s gravity It is being pulled away by the sun and the other planets. Its acceleration toward the Earth is zero None of the above

The gentlemanbug’s tangential speed is half the ladybug’s the same as the ladybug’s twice the ladybug’s impossible to determine
