Question 1

Question
An object that's moving with constant speed travels once around a circular path. Which of the following is/are true concerning this motion? I. The displacement is zero. II. The average speed is zero. III. The acceleration is zero.
Answer
  • I only
  • I and II only
  • I and III only
  • III only
  • II and III only

Question 2

Question
At time t = t_1, an object's velocity is given by the vector v_1 shown below. A short time later, at t = t_2, the object's velocity is the vector v_2. If the magnitudes of v_2 and v_1 are equal, which of the following vectors best illustrates the object's average acceleration between t = t_1 and t = t_2?

Question 3

Question
A rock is thrown off a 30 m cliff at a 45° angle above the horizontal. When the rock is 15 m above the ground, what is its acceleration?
Answer
  • 0
  • 1/2 g, downward
  • g, downward
  • 1/2 g, upward
  • g, upward

Question 4

Question
A baseball is thrown straight upward. What is the ball's acceleration at its highest point?
Answer
  • 0
  • 1/2 g, downward
  • g, downward
  • 1/2 g, upward
  • g, upward

Answer
  • 9.0 s
  • 10.5 s
  • 12.0 s

Answer
  • 1 s
  • 2 s
  • 4 s
  • 6 s
  • 8 s

Question 8

Question

Answer
  • 0.5 s
  • 1 s
  • 1.7 s
  • 2 s
  • 4 s

Question 9

Question
A stone is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 30 m/s from a bridge. Find the stone's total speed when it enters the water 4 seconds later. (Ignore air resistance.)
Answer
  • 30 m/s
  • 40 m/s
  • 50 m/s
  • 60 m/s
  • 70 m/s

Question 10

Question
Which one of the following statements is true concerning the motion of an ideal projectile launched at an angle of 45° to the horizontal?
Answer
  • The acceleration vector points opposite to the velocity vector on the way up and in the same direction as the velocity vector on the way down.
  • The speed at the top of the trajectory is zero.
  • The object's total speed remains constant during the entire flight.
  • The horizontal speed decreases on the way up and increases on the way down.
  • The vertical speed decreases on the way up and increases on the way down.

Question 11

Question
The position of an object moving in a straight line is given by the equation x = (3t^3+7t+5) m, where t is in seconds. What is the object's acceleration at time t = 5 seconds?
Answer
  • 415 m/s^2
  • 232 m/s^2
  • 115 m/s^2
  • 90 m/s^2
  • 35 m/s^2

Question 12

Question
