STUDY-GUIDE PROBLEMS FOR THE FINAL
I’ve tried to work these the best I can --Animations and Spreadsheets Help Me a Lot.
I’ll be incorporating these better in the future …
True / False Review
True
1. The rate at which velocity changes with time is called acceleration.
a
v change in velocity

t
change in time
2. The SI unit of acceleration is meters per second.
False
a
3. When a car rounds a corner at a constant speed, its acceleration is zero.
4. A ball is thrown into the air. At the highest point of its path, the ball has
zero velocity and zero acceleration.
5. As a ball falls freely, the distance it falls each second is the same.
ms m
 2
s
s
False
Anytime velocity or direction
changes, acceleration must be
changing.
False
For the same reason as #4:
gravity is still acting on the ball.
False
The distance increases
(remember the feather problem).
6. The amount of matter in an object is called the weight of the object.
False
The amount of matter is the
mass. WEIGHT is a force:
Fg  mg
7. The force due to gravity acting on an object is called the mass of the object.
8. The SI unit of force is called the kilogram.
False
See #6.
False
Force is in NEWTONS:
1N 
1kg m
s2
False
9. If a hockey puck slides on a perfectly frictionless surface, it will eventually
Newton’s Laws say an object
slow down because of its inertia.
keeps going unless something
acts on the object.
10. Inertia is the resistance any material object has to a change in its state of
motion.
True
11. The combination of all the forces that act on an object is called the net force.
True
False
12. The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the net force acting
Fnet  ma
on the object.
If Force goes up, Acceleration goes up.
If Force goes down, Acceleration goes down.
Therefore, F and a are DIRECTLY
proportional.
13. Air resistance is caused by friction between the air and an object moving
through the air.
True
False
14. The speed of an object dropped in air will continue to increase without limit When the upward force of air
until it strikes the ground.
friction equals weight, you stop
accelerating.
15. When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object always
exerts a force back on the first object.
True
16. A rocketship is pushed forward by gases that are forced out the back of the
ship.
17. In order to make a cart move forward, a horse must pull
harder on the cart than the cart pulls on the horse.
True
Almost True But False
If the horse was on ice, “pulling harder” couldn’t
happen. It’s the ground (and friction) allowing
pulling. The horse pushes on the ground, and the
ground pushes back to move the horse and cart.
18. If a bicycle and a parked car have a head-on collision, the force of impact is
False
greater on the bicycle.
Newton’s 3rd Law –
EQUAL BUT OPPOSITE FORCES.
19. A quantity that has both magnitude and direction is called a scalar.
20. A single vector can be replaced by two vectors in the X and Y directions.
These X and Y vectors are called the resultant of the original vector.
False
A scalar is just a number: 6.
A vector is magnitude AND
direction.
False
Just the opposite – the two
vectors can be replaced by the
resultant vector.
21. When a woman pushes a lawnmower along the handle, she pushes down as
well as forward.
22. Mass is a vector quantity.
23. Wind velocity can be represented as a vector quantity.
True
False
Mass is just a number (no
direction).
True
Weathermen report “wind is 10
mph out of the north” --- both
magnitude and direction.
