62500

c)

6250

d)

625

13.

(a)   quantities: only have magnitude, not a direction

14.

(a)   quantity: that have both magnitude and direction. This is represented by an arrow.

15.

where on this graph is this car accelerating at a constant speed

a)

0-A

b)

A-B

c)

B-C

d)

C-D

16.

when an object is falling what are the 2 main forces acting?

a)

The mass of the object

b)

the weight of the object

c)

air resistance

d)

friction

17.

terminal velocity is when the weight of the object is (a)   by the air resistance.

18.

after immediately jumping out of a plane what are the forces acting on the parachutist?

a)

There is no air resistance. There is a resultant force acting downwards.

b)

There is air resistance but the weight increases. There is a resultant force acting downwards.

c)

The objects weight is balanced by the air resistance. There is no resultant force.

d)

The air resistance force is more than the weight. There is a resulting force acting upwards.
