An object in motion will stay in what kind of motion as long as the net forces acting on it are zero?
slowing motion in a straight line
accelerating motion in a straight line
constant speed in a straight line
constant speed in an unpredictable direction
What can be stated about a car when it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line?
Forces are balanced
Forces are unbalanced
The net force on the is zero.
The acceleration of the car is zero.
The net force acting on the car is greater than zero.
Moe Fysics is not paying attention while skateboarding at 6 m/s hits a curb. The skateboard stops...Moe doesn't, because
the skateboard applies a force on Moe, pushing him forward.
the curb applies a force on the skateboard, not on Moe.
the velocity of the skateboard is less than 10 m/s.
the curb also applies a force on Moe, accelerating him forward.
Pushing a 30 kg child on a swing is easier than pushing a 70 kg adult on the same swing, because
the child has less inertia than the adult.
the child has more mass than the adult.
the child has more inertia than the adult.
the adult has less kinetic energy.
True or False. The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass.
True
False
A force of 90N is applied to each cart below, which one will have the greatest acceleration?
Cart 1
Cart 2
Cart 3
Cart 4
All will have the same acceleration.
An unbalanced force is applied to a cart and it accelerates. If the net force on the cart triples, what happens to the cart's acceleration?
It doubles (2 x greater)
It triples (3 x greater)
It's 6 times greater
It's one-third as much (⅓ as much)
An unbalanced force is applied to a cart and it accelerates. If the mass of the cart doubles, what happens to the cart's acceleration if the same force is applied?
It doubles (2 x greater)
It quadruples (4 x greater)
It halves (½ as much)
It quarters (¼ as much)
A 2000-kg car has a net force of a force of 4000 N. Which of the following correctly show the work to determine the acceleration of the car?
a=mFnet=40002000=0.5 s2m
a=mFnet=20004000=2 s2m
F = ma = 2000×4000= 8000N
a= mFnet= 20004000=0.5 N
A 20 kg bike accelerates at 2 m/s/s. What is the correct calculation for determining the net force applied to the bike?
Fnet =ma=20×2=40 s2m
Fnet=ma =20×2=40 N
a= mFnet=2040=2 N
a= mFnet=2040=0.5 s2m
Two trains (Q, P) with the same mass have a net force applied to them. Their resulting motion is depicted in the v-t graph. Which train has the greater force applied to it?
Q because it has more acceleration.
Q because it has less acceleration.
P because it has more acceleration.
P because it has less acceleration.
Two trains (A and B) with the same mass have a net force applied to them. Their resulting motion is depicted in the v-t graph. Which train has the greater force applied to it?
A because it is moving faster.
A because it has more acceleration.
B because it has more acceleration.
B because it is moving slower.
Two trains (A and B) have the same net force applied to them and their resulting motion is depicted in the v-t graph. Which train has more mass?
A because it has less acceleration.
A because it is moving faster.
B because it has more acceleration.
B because it is moving slower.
Which d-t graph(s) depict objects that have a net force greater than zero applied to them?
(a)
(b)
(c)
all of the above
none of the above
The v-t graph depicts the motion of an object. When did the object have an unbalanced force applied to it? Check all that apply.
A
B
C
D
nowhere
A bowling ball and a feather are dropped at the same time from the same height in a vacuum (so no air resistance). Which object will hit the ground first? Explain.
The bowling ball because its heavier so there is a greater force of gravity acting on the bowling ball so it will have a greater acceleration.
The feather because it has less mass so less inertia so it has less resistance to the force applied to it which makes it accelerate more.
They will hit at the same time because the ratio of weight to mass is the same for both objects so they will have the same acceleration. a = F/M = f/m
They will hit the ground at the same time because it's a magic trick.
If the person is pushing backwards with the paddle, why do they move forward?
The person will actually move backwards, they need to paddle the other way

The person is pushing harder than the water
The water pushes back with a greater force than the person
