A heavy truck and a small car are both traveling at 20 \text{ m/s} . If both vehicles apply their brakes with the same amount of force, why does it take the truck a longer distance to stop?

The truck has more mass, which means it has more inertia and resists changing its motion more than the car.

The truck has less friction between its tires and the road than the small car.

The car experiences a greater force of gravity, which helps it stop faster.

The truck's velocity is higher than the car's velocity, requiring more force.

A rocket engine pushes exhaust gases downward with a force of 10,000\text{ N} . According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, what occurs as a direct result of this force?

The exhaust gases push the rocket upward with a force of 10,000\text{ N} .

The rocket moves upward because the gases are lighter than air.

The rocket remains stationary until the force of gravity is completely removed.

The exhaust gases push the rocket upward with a force of 5,000\text{ N} .

A student is looking at a position-time graph where the line is horizontal (flat) at a position of 5\text{ meters} for a duration of 10\text{ seconds} . Which statement best describes the motion of the object during this time?

The object is accelerating at a rate of 0.5\text{ m/s}^2 .

The object is moving at a constant speed of 5\text{ m/s} .

The object is moving backward toward the origin.

An explorer travels 10 meters East and then 10 meters West. Which statement correctly describes their distance and displacement?

Distance is 20 meters; Displacement is 0 meters

Distance is 10 meters; Displacement is 10 meters

Distance is 20 meters; Displacement is 20 meters

Distance is 0 meters; Displacement is 20 meters

If the frequency of a transverse wave is 10 Hz, what does this tell you about the movement of the wave?

10 wave cycles pass a fixed point every second

The wave travels at a speed of 10 meters per second

The height of the wave is 10 meters

Two containers hold the same amount of water. Container A is at 25^{\circ}C and Container B is at 75^{\circ}C . Which statement is true regarding the kinetic energy of the water molecules?

The molecules in Container B have a higher average kinetic energy than the molecules in Container A.

Container B has a higher temperature because its molecules have stopped moving.

The molecules in both containers have the exact same average kinetic energy.

The molecules in Container A are moving faster than the molecules in Container B.

What happens to the particles of a gas when its temperature is increased from 20^{\circ}C to 100^{\circ}C ?

The particles speed up and their average kinetic energy increases.

The particles grow larger in size but their speed remains the same.

The particles slow down and their average kinetic energy decreases.

The particles stop moving entirely as they absorb the extra heat.
