A student drops a Styrofoam cup and a baseball from the top of a tall ladder at the same time. Why does the baseball hit the ground first?

The air resistance on the cup nearly balances its weight, so the cup accelerates at less than 9.8 m/s 2 .

The larger volume and mass of the baseball accelerates the baseball faster than 9.8 m/s 2 .

There is no air resistance on the baseball, so the baseball accelerates at 9.8 m/s 2 .

The weight is the only force on the cup and cannot accelerate the cup at 9.8 m/s 2 .

If a triple-beam balance were taken to the Moon to measure a cup, the cup would have the same mass on the Moon as it would on Earth. Which is the most likely reason the cup would have the same mass on the Moon?

The property of mass is constant regardless of the location of the object.

The lack of a significant atmosphere on the Moon would affect the inside of the cup.

The gravity of the Moon is too low for the balance to measure the mass correctly.

The pull of gravity from Earth would affect the triple-beam balance.

Which sentence correctly describes a friction force?

It acts in a direction opposite to the motion of an object.

It acts in the same direction as the motion of an object.

It acts in a direction perpendicular to the motion of an object.

It acts in the same direction as the force of gravity on an object.

Which of these is an example of sliding friction?

a hockey puck moving across the ice

a badminton shuttlecock flying over the net

a basketball rolling across a wooden floor

a flying kite pushed by a gentle breeze

A car traveling in a straight line on a flat road encounters a thin icy surface. Assume the driver does not turn the steering wheel or apply the car’s brakes or gas pedal. If the icy surface has less friction than the road without ice, in what direction will the car begin to travel?

straight ahead due to Newton’s first law of motion

to the left due to Newton’s third law of motion

to the right due to Newton’s first law of motion

slightly downward due to Newton’s third law of motion

A student pushes a book with a force of 5 N to the east. Which statement describes the reaction force?

5 N westward, acting on the student

5 N eastward, acting on the book

5 N westward, acting on the book

5 N eastward, acting on the students
