Physical Science Final Exam Review Part 1

A man jogs at a velocity of 2.5 m/s west for 1,200 s. He then walks at a velocity of 1.0 m/s east for 500 s and then stops to rest. What is the displacement of the man when he stops to rest?

• 3,500 m west

• 3,000 m west

• 2,500 m west

• 700 m west

A rock on Earth has a mass of 750 kg and a weight of 7,350 N. If the rock is taken into outer space, how will its mass and weight be affected?

• The weight and mass will remain the same because they are not altered by the effects of gravity.

• The weight will remain the same, but the mass will change because of the effects of gravity.

• The mass will be 76.5 kg, and the weight will increase because of the effects of gravity.

• The mass will be 750 kg, but the weight will decrease because of the effects of gravity.
