1.

Choose the following FBD where the forces are balanced.

a)
b)
c)
d)
2.

Calculate the Fnet of the FBD and describe the object's motion.


(Note: F air is the same as drag)

a)

Fnet= 200N. It is speeding up as it falls down.

b)

Fnet= 200N. It is traveling down at a constant speed.

c)

Fnet= 1400N. It is speeding up as it falls down.

d)

Fnet= 800N. It is traveling down and slowing down.

e)

Fnet= 200N. It is traveling up and slowing down.

3.

What claims can you make about this FBD? Check ALL that apply.

a)

The forces are unbalanced.

b)

The Fnet= 0 N.

c)

The forces are balanced.

d)

The object is speeding up.

e)

The object is stopped or going at a constant speed.

4.

Identify the independent variable in the following situation:


A scientist is studying how different amounts of light affect the growth of snake plants.

a)

6.

What is a controlled variable?

a)

Something that causes a change in the other variables of an investigation.

b)

Something that is changed by the other variables in the investigation.

c)

A variable that is constant or unchanged throughout the investigation.

d)
