1.

If a 10 kilogram object accelerates suddenly at 15 m/s^2, how much force was applied to the object


NOTE:  Force  = mass * acceleration                   

a)

150 Newtons

b)

15 Newtons

c)

150 kilograms

d)

100 kilograms

2.

If a force of 50 Newton's was applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the object's acceleration be?


NOTE: Force = mass * acceleration

a)

10 m/s^2

b)

.1 m/s^2

c)

100 m/s^2

d)

1 m/s^2

3.

If an object was accelerating at 10 m/s^2, and a force of 10 newtons was required to accelerate it, what was the object's mass?


NOTE: Force = mass * acceleration

a)

1 kilogram

b)

10 kilograms

c)

2 kilograms

d)

5 kilograms

4.
What is the net force and the direction of movement?
a)
50 Newtons, Left
b)
50 Newtons, Right
c)
500 Newtons, RIght
d)
450 Newtons, LEft
5.

Determine the acceleration that results when a 12-N net force is applied to a 3-kg object.


NOTE: Force = mass * acceleration

a)

3 m/s

b)

4 ft/s

c)

13 m/s

d)

4 m/s

6.

What is the acceleration of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons?


NOTE: Force = mass * acceleration

a)

100 m/s2

b)

25,000 m/s2

c)

10 m/s2

d)

25 m/s2

7.

What is the net force?


NOTE: In this case Net Force = ( F1 + F2 ) because the forces are in the same direction

a)

5 N

b)

45 N to the left

c)

5 N to the right

d)

45 N to the right

8.

Which one is balanced?


NOTE: "Balanced" means 0 Net Force

a)

top

b)

bottom

c)

both

9.

What is the net force?


Note: In this case Net Force = F1 - F2 because one force is directed exactly opposite of the other.

a)

17 N Right

b)

3 N Right

c)

3 N Left

d)

17 N Left

10.

Why is the net force 0 in the image?


Note: In this case Net Force = F1 - F2 because one force is acting directly opposite of the other

a)

Because the elephants are the same size

b)

Because they are both pulling the same amount of force in opposite directions

c)

Because they are elephants

d)

Because they are pulling away from each other.

11.

A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 Newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?


NOTE: EQUAL AND OPPOSITE!!

a)

100 Newtons, same direction

b)

100 Newtons, opposite direction

c)

200 Newtons, opposite direction

d)

200 Newtons, same direction

12.

The illustration shows the forces in Newtons (N) acting on three different blocks. Which blocks will move under these conditions?


NOTE: No net force = no change in motion...

a)

Blocks 1 and 2

b)

Blocks 2 and 3

c)

Blocks 1, 2, and 3

d)

Blocks 1 and 3
