question
Galileo found that a ball rolling down one inclined plane would roll how far up another inclined plane?
answer
Nearly to original height.
question
The law of inertia?
answer
An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.

An object following a straight line path at constant speed has what # acceleration?
answer
Zero.
question
Friction?
answer
Slowing the object.
question

Inversely proportional to mass.
question
When an object reaches terminal velocity, it's acceleration is..
answer
Zero.
question
A heavy person and a light person parachute together and wear the same size parachutes. Assuming they open their parachutes at the same time, which person reaches the ground first?
answer
The heavier person.
question
When a women stands with two feet on a scale, the scale reads 140N. When she lifts one foot, the scale reads..
answer
140N.
question
Suppose the force of friction on a sliding object is 25N. The force needed to maintain a constant velocity is...
answer
25N.
question
An object has a constant mass. A constant force on the object produces constant..
answer
Acceleration.
question
Suppose a particle is accelerated through space by a constant 10N force. Suddenly the particle encounters a second force of 5N in a direction opposite to that of the first force. The particle..
answer
Acceleration is at a slower rate.
question
As a care package falls from a high-flying stationary helicopter, it's velocity increases and it's acceleration..
answer
Decreases.
question
If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 90N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 90N. Now if you pull with 140N so the desk slides at constant velocity, the friction force is..
answer
140N, force of friction increases as weight increases.
question
When the angle of an incline with a block resting on it increases, the normal support force..
answer
Decreases.
question
A speeding truck locks it brakes and it skids to a stop. If the truck's total mass were doubled, its skidding distance would be..
answer
The same force.
question
If the force acting on a cart doubles, what happen to the cart's acceleration?
answer
Also doubles.
question
A sports car has a mass of 1200 kg and accelerates at 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnitude of the force acting on the sports car?
answer
1200 x 5 = 6000N
question

answer
One-half the acceleration.
question
If a truck has 5 times the mass of a car and the two vehicles are pushed with an equal force, you would expect the acceleration of the truck to be..
answer
1/5 times that of the car.
question
A rocket is able to accelerate in the vacuum of space when it fires its engines. The force that propels the rocket is the force..
answer
Of the exhaust gases on the rocket.
question
You wonder how the cow is able to move forward if the plow is exerting an equal and opposite force on the cow. Which of the following explains the movement of the cow and plow?
answer
The force exerted by the cow on the plow is smaller than the force that the cow exerts on the ground to move foward.
question
