5In horizontal projectile motion, the initial velocity...
- Ais always perpendicular to the action
- Bis always parallel to the acceleration
- Cis initially perpendicular to the acceleration then ends up parallel to the acceleration
- Dalternates between perpendicular and parallel to the action
6An object may have...
- Avarying speed without varying velocity
- Bvarying velocity without varying speed
- Czero acceleration with a varying velocity
- Dzero acceleration with a varying speed
7The correct statement for a particle going i a straight line is...
- Aif the velocity and acceleration have opposite sign, the object is slowing down
- Bif the position and velocity have opposite sign, the particle is moving away from the origin
- Cif the velocity is zero at an instant, the acceleration should also be zero at that instant
- Dif the velocity is zero for a time interval, the acceleration is zero at any instant within the time interval
8According to this graph, what happens at 3 seconds?
(assume each box is one unit)
- Athe object its the ground
- Bthe object reaches its highest point
9Considering that the object is moving in a straight line, At what time after t=0 does the object again pass through its initial position?
- Abetween 0 and 1 sec
- B1 sec
- Cbetween 1 and 2 sec
- D2 sec
- Ebetween 2 and 3 sec
10Consider a ball thrown upward from the surface into the air. The acceleration of the ball when it is halfway to its maximum height is...
- Aupwards at 9.8 m/s^2
- Bupwards at 4.9 m/s^2
- Cdownwards at 4.9 m/s^2
- Ddownwards at 9.8 m/s^2
- Ecannot determine without knowing the initial velocity of the ball
11Two cars travel on two parallel of the same straight road. The graphs of their speed versus time is shown to the right. Which of the following is true at the first dotted line?
- ACar Y is behind car X
- BCar Y is passing car X
- CCar Y is in front of car X

- B360 kg
- C100 kg
- D60 kg
14A physicist stand in an elevator on a bathroom scale. What does the scale read when the elevator moves downward at 10 m/s ?
- AZero, because there will be no force on the scale to read
- BHigher than when the elevator is at rest, because he s pushing down on the scale harder
- Cthe same as when the elevator is at rest, because the normal force does not change.
- DLower than when the elevator is at rest, because he is moving downwards and therefore, putting less pressure on it
15An 800 kg elvator accelerates downward at 2 m/s^2. The force exerted by the cable on the elevator is...
- A1600 N down
- B!600 N up
- C6400 N up
