- Q1A high school science lab recently misplaced all of their triple beam balances. An experiment requires the students to know the mass of a particular object. The lab has digital force and acceleration sensors that students use to generate the graph below. What is the mass of the object according to the Acceleration-Force graph shown above?0.05 kg40 kg2 kg20 kg120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q2A strength and conditioning coach recommends that an athlete train by pulling a large amount of mass while sprinting. If action-reaction forces are always equal and opposite, which explanation best describes the action-reaction pair acting on the runner shown above?The runner will accelerate forward because the force of friction by the mass on the runner is always less than the applied force by the runner, resulting in a net force forward.The runner will accelerate forward because the applied force exerted by the runner creates an equal and opposite frictional force by the ground, but these forces are exerted on different objects.The runner will not move because the applied force exerted by the runner on the mass will create an equal and opposite frictional force, canceling the applied force.The runner will remain motionless because the applied force by the runner in the forward direction is less than the frictional force from the ground acting in the opposite direction.120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q3A book is at rest on a level table as shown below. Refer to the above image. Which best represents the action-reaction force that allows the book to remain at rest?The action force is the gravitational force pulling the book downward towards the table, and the reaction force is the friction between the book and the table.The action force is friction between the book and the table, and the reaction force is the gravitational force pulling the book downward towards the table.The action force is the normal force of the table pushing the book upwards, and the reaction force is the gravitational force pulling the book downward towards the table.The action force is the gravitational force pulling the book downward towards the table and the reaction force is the normal force of the table pushing the book upwards.120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q4During a lab, a student rolls a ball down the hallway. The position vs. time graph below shows the position of the ball at different times. According to the information and graph above, which force is most responsible for the decrease in velocity over time?Spring forceNormal forceFrictional forceGravitational force120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q5A ball is left in the cabin of an airplane. When the plane accelerates forward, the passengers remain in their seats, and the ball rolls to the back of the cabin. According to the information and diagram shown above, what happens to the ball when the plane stops?The ball continues moving backward just as it was when the plane was accelerating forward.The ball’s inertia keeps it from moving forward.The ball accelerates toward the back of the plane with a higher magnitude.The ball rolls to the front of the cabin.120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q6A pickup truck is capable of producing 515 N•m of torque. How much force does the engine produce if the force acts 0.25 m from the pivot point?128.75 N20.6 N515.25 N2060 N120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q7NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts. The supply storage area of the lunar outpost, where gravity is 1.63 m/s , can only support 1 x 10 N. What is the maximum weight of supplies, as measured on Earth, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?61,300 N100,000 N601,000 N16,300 N120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q8A student is pushing her car to the nearest gas station applying a force of ‘F’ on the car with a mass of ‘m’, resulting in an acceleration of ‘a.’ A friend stops to help push the car, thus doubling the force applied. Which expression best represents the acceleration of the car after her friend begins to push?2agaa/2120s112.39.c.4.d
- Q9A man (100 kg) and his son (50 kg) are trapped in the middle of a frozen pond (a frictionless surface). The man and his son decide to push against each other and slide across the ice to the edge of the pond. Which of the following statements is true?.Both will make it off of the pond, but the son will get there first.Only the dad will make it off of the pond.Both will make it off of the pond, but the man will get there firstOnly the son will make it off of the pond120s112.39.c.4.d

- Q14The illustration below shows the direction of forces on an automobile as it moves in a straight line. If the drag force (due to a gust of wind) increases, yet remains less than the applied force, which of the following describes the motion of the automobile above? (Note: The magnitudes are not drawn to scale.)The car will maintain a constant velocity.The car will rotate about the center of mass.The car’s magnitude of velocity will increase.The car’s magnitude of velocity will decrease.120s112.39.c.4.d
