FALSE Speed = velocity + direction.

3. _____

TRUE Quantities are numbers with appropriate units.

5. _____

FALSE Vectors are added tail to tail.

6. _____

TRUE Acceleration is the slope of the velocity vs. time graph (the rate that the velocity changes).

FALSE Displacement and the distance traveled are always identical quantities for any path an object takes.

8. _____

FALSE Displacement is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph.

9. _____

TRUE Inches per century could be a unit to express the speed of an object.

10. _____

TRUE The area under the acceleration vs. time graph is an objects change in velocity.

11. _____

FALSE Newtons 1st law states that objects need a net force to stay in motion.

12. _____

TRUE If the velocity of an object is changing, it is not in equilibrium.

13. _____

FALSE An object is dropped of a cliff. It hits the ground 3 seconds later. To find out how tall the cliff is you can
multiple 10 m/s2 by 3 seconds. This will tell you that the height of the cliff is 30 m.

14. _____

FALSE Equilibrium means that an object is not moving.

15. _____

TRUE According to Newtons 2nd law, increasing the net force on an object increases its acceleration.

16. _____

FALSE Objects with more mass require less net force to change their velocity.

17. _____

TRUE Doubling the net force on an object doubles its acceleration.

18. _____

TRUE Doubling the mass makes its acceleration decrease by a factor of if the net force stays constant.

19. _____

TRUE The acceleration of an object will change if the net force on the object changes.

20. _____

FALSE Newtons 3rd law states that when two objects interact, the force each object is usually the same magnitude.
However, these force are sometimes different (i.e. a truck windshield pushes on a fly with more force than a fly
pushes on the trucks windshield).

21. _____

FALSE The two forces involved in a Newtons 3rd interaction act always act on a single object.

22. _____

FALSE An objects mass changes depending on where it is relative to other objects.

23. _____

TRUE An objects weight changes depending on where it is relative to other massive objects

24. _____

TRUE An objects weight is about the same anywhere near the surface of the earth.

25. _____

TRUE An objects weight can be approximated by multiplying the mass of the object by 10 N/kg (which is
equivalent to 10 m/s2)

26. _____

FALSE An object that has one force acting on it is always going to be in equilibrium.

27. _____

FALSE A basketball player shoots. While the ball is in the air, the force of the players hand continues to push the
ball forward until it reaches the basket.

28. _____

FALSE Two people throw identical rocks. Person 1 throws their rock up. Person 2 throws their rock down. Both
rocks will have different accelerations while in the air.

29. _____

30. _____

TRUE Two people drop different rocks. Person 1s rock has a mass of 2 kg. Person 2s rock has a mass of 4kg.
a. _______

FALSE Both rocks have the same weight

b. _______

TRUE Both rocks have the same weight to mass ratio (weight / mass)

c. _______

TRUE Both rocks have the same acceleration

d. _______

TRUE Both rocks hit the ground at the same time

e. _______

FALSE The 4 kg rock hits the ground faster than the 2kg rock.

A person throws a rock straight up.

a. _______

TRUE At its highest point, its velocity will be 0 m/s

b. _______

FALSE The rock is in equilibrium at its highest point. No forces are acting on it.

c. _______

TRUE The rocks acceleration is about 10 m/s2 at its highest point.

d. _______

FALSE At its highest point, its acceleration will be 0 m/s2.

e. _______

TRUE The rock will be traveling at the same speed but in the opposite direction when it returns

to where it was thrown.

31. _____

A cannonball and a paperclip are dropped from the same height on the surface of the moon.

a. _______

FALSE Both objects have the same mass.

b. _______

TRUE The cannonball has a greater weight pulling it down than the paperclip.

c. _______

FALSE The paperclip requires more force to result in the same acceleration as the cannonball.

d. _______

TRUE The ratio of weight to mass is the same for both the canon ball and the paper clip. Because

of 2nd law, both objects will have the same acceleration.

e. _______
32. _____

TRUE Both objects hit the ground at the same time.

TRUE A scale measures the normal force supporting an object.

33. _____ TRUE A scale displays a force equal to a persons weight when they are traveling at a constant velocity in an elevator.
34. _____ TRUE A scale displays a force greater than a persons weight in an elevator that is accelerating upward.
35. _____ FALSE A scale displays a force greater than a persons weight in an elevator that is accelerating downward.
36. _____ FALSE If an elevator is in freefell, a scale would display a force equal to the persons weight.
37. _____ FALSE Average acceleration is defined as a change in displacement divided by the change in time.
38. _____ FALSE A golf club hits a golf ball. While the ball is in the air the club continues to pushes the ball forward.
39. _____ FALSE If a box is being pushed at a constant velocity, there must be a total force acting in the direction the box is
moving.
40. _____ TRUE A book is pushed across a table and slides to a stop because friction pushes in the opposite direction that the
book is sliding.
41. _____ FALSE Normal force acts parallel to surface contact.
42. _____ FALSE Weight (force of gravity) acts parallel to ramps. It does not always point straight down towards the center of
the earth.
43. _____ FALSE Inches per foot is a valid unit for speed.
44. _____ TRUE Miles / second is a valid unit for speed.
45. _____ FALSE A student hits a drum with a drumstick. The force of the drumstick on the drum is greater than the force of the
drum on the drumstick
46. _____ TRUE A baseball is thrown at a glass window. While the baseball is in contact with the window and breaking it, the
force of the window on the ball is the same as the force of the ball on the window.
47. _____ FALSE It is possible to have a force acting on an object with out an equal but opposite force acting on another object
somewhere else in the universe.
48. _____ TRUE Normal force requires surface contact.
49. _____ FALSE A textbook is sitting on the floor. If you step on the textbook, the normal force of the ground on the textbook
will not change.
50. _____ FALSE Normal force is always equal to an objects weight.
51. _____ FALSE Horizontal lines on a velocity vs. time graph indicate that the total force acting on an object is zero.
52. _____ TRUE If you throw an object straight up it will come back down with the same exact speed (if there is no air
resistance).
53. _____ FALSE As a skateboarder starts to go down a steep hill, her speed increases because the total force acting on her is
zero.
54. _____ TRUE The moon does not have air resistance.
55. _____ TRUE A parachute would not be able to work on the moon.
56. _____ TRUE An orange is thrown up in the air. The acceleration is constant the entire time.
57. _____ FALSE An orange is thrown up in the air. The velocity is constant the entire time.
58. _____ TRUE An object starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 20 m/s in 4 s. Its acceleration is 5 m/s 2.
59. _____ TRUE If a plane flies at a constant rate of 600 miles/hour it will travel 10 miles each minute.
60. _____ FALSE A firefighter slides down a fire pole at a constant velocity. Friction pushes the firefighter down with a force
equal to their weight.
