Greater effort is required to move the load.

d)

The first class lever is no found in the human body.

3.

Which of the following requires the action of the first class lever in the body?

a)

Jumping

b)

Push-ups

c)

Waving

d)

Nodding

4.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same_____

a)

acceleration

b)

force

c)

mass

d)

velocity

5.

Force is based upon both mass and acceleration.

a)

True

b)

False

6.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force is equal to mass times acceleration.

a)

True

b)

False

7.

The load is the pivot point of a lever

a)

True

b)

False

8.

The first class lever is the most common lever in the human body.

a)

True

b)

False

9.

The ankle is a third class lever.

a)

True

b)

False

10.

Swinging a tennis racket against a ball is an example of a third class lever.

11.

Matter is ______.

a)

the amount of energy contained within an object

b)

a measure of the force gravity exerts on objects

c)

something that has mass and occupies space

d)

a measure of an object's inertial force

12.

What distinguishes mass from weight?

a)

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.

b)

Weight is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while mass is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.

c)

Mass is a measure of an object's inertial force, and weight is the force exerted by that object on other objects.

d)

Mass and weight are synonyms and ultimately describe the same principle.

13.

A balance uses small metal weights of known mass to determine the mass of a substance. Where would a balance NOT function correctly?

a)

in a vacuum on earth

b)

on the moon's surface

c)

on the earth's highest mountain

d)

in a zero gravity environment

14.

What is the difference between velocity and acceleration?

a)

Velocity describes an object's position and acceleration describes how fast it moves.

b)

Velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.

c)

Velocity is used to determine the magnitude of force acting on an object, and acceleration isn't.

d)

Velocity is a time-dependent property of an object, while acceleration is not.

15.

a)

Their acceleration is positive.

b)

Their acceleration is negative.

c)

Their acceleration is zero.

d)

Their acceleration cannot be determined.

b)

effort applied in the same place

c)

two loads and fulcrum

d)
