  • Q1
    If you hit a baseball out into left field, why would it not continue to travel forever?
    The ball's mass is not low enough to keep it going forever.
    Outside forces intervene, which eventually bring the ball to a stop.
    The ball did not have a great enough initial velocity.
    The ball was not hit with enough force to keep it going forever.

  • Q8
    A fly splatters when hitting the windshield of a moving car. According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which object experienced more force?
    The windshield experienced more force because it shattered on impact.
    The force on both objects was equal (but in opposite directions). The fly could not withstand the same force that the windshield can.
    The fly experienced more force because it splattered on impact.

  • Q13
    Why can't the following question be solved right away with Newton's Second Law (F=ma)? Calculate the force applied to a 2g mass to make it accelerate at 3m/s2.
    Acceleration is measured in m/s
    You must first convert the grams (g) to kilograms (kg) for mass
