Fist answer is the correct answer
1- A 1000 Kg car has a motor that deliver 12 kWatt to move the car forward. The maximum speed of the car
on a horizontal road is 20 m/s. How large is the retarding force acting on the car at that speed?(in Newtons)
a) 600
b) 1200
c) 120
d) 6000
e) 800
2- A pendulum is 40 cm long. It is pulled aside by an angle 60 degree. Find the speed of the pendulum as
the ball goes through the lowest point. How high above its lowest position will the pendulum swing on the
other side? Ignore friction.

b) 4.0 m/s, 20 cm
c) 4.0 m/s, 40 cm
d) 2.0 m/s, 40 cm
e) 3.0 m/s, 30 cm
3- A 10 g bullet moving at 600 m/s, hits a 5 kg wood block resting on the table. The bullet sticks in the
wood. How fast is the block sliding across the table just after the collision? (m/s)
a) 1.2
b) 2.0
c) 0.6
d) 2.4
e) 3.1
4- Two Identical billiard balls (A) and (B) are approaching each other head-on. (A) has a velocity 2.0 m/s,
whereas (B) has a velocity - 4.0 m/s. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the velocity of (A) right
after the collision? (m/s)

c) 6
d) 4
e) -6
5- A block of mass 2 kg slides on an incline starting from rest. When the block reaches a point 30 cm below

(d) 5000
(e) 3000
9. After the power is turned off to a motor whose shaft speed is 240 rev/min, the motor takes 2 s to
stop. Through how many revolution did the shaft turn while the motor came to rest? Assume uniform
acceleration (deceleration). (in rev)
(a) 4
(b) 8
(c) 64
