I. Directions: Circle the letter of the best answer.

1. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object’s motion will not change unless_____
A. the net force acting on it is greater than zero.
B. a force continues to be applied to the object.
C. its inertia is stronger than the applied force.
D. the object has no inertia.
2. It is more difficult to start a 50 kg box sliding across the floor than a 5kg box because the
50kg box has greater
A. size C. volume
B. inertia D. velocity

3. A jet engine pushing exhust backwards pushing the plane forward is an example of?
A. Newton’s First Law of Motion C. Fixed object Motion

B. – 400 J D. 50 J
7. The difference between mass and weight is ___________
A. Weight depends in gravity C. Weight is scalar, while mass is a vector
B. Mass is force, weight is not D. Mass depends on gravity
8. Which has more mass, a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of iron?

B. The iron
C. They are equal
D. Neither of them

II. Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct. Write FALSE if the statement is
incorrect.
____________ 9. The weight w of an object is defined as the force of gravity acting on
an object of mass m. The object experiences an acceleration due to gravity g. w = mg.
TRUE
____________ 10. A swimmer pushing off from the side of a pool is an application of the
Newton’s second law of motion. FALSE
____________ 11. An astronaut weighs the same on Earth as in space. FALSE

 ____________ 12. The work done on a system by a constant force is the product of the
component of the force in the direction of motion times the distance through which the
force acts. TRUE
____________ 13. There must be displacement for work to be done, and there must be
a component of the force in the direction of the motion. TRUE
____________ 14. In analytical method, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to get
the magnitude of the angle of the vector.
____________ 15. You can get the angle of the resultant vector by getting the inverse
tangent of the quotient of the two vector components.

III. Directions. Analyze and solve the problem. (16-25)

(a) Calculate the momentum of a 2000--‐kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of
7.50 m/s.
(b) Compare the elephant’s momentum with the momentum of a 0.0400--‐kg tranquilizer
dart fired at a speed of 600m/s .
(c) What is the momentum of the 90.0 kg hunter running at 7.40 m/s after missing the
elephant?

III. Directions. Solve the following problems. (26-50)

A. A shopper pushes a grocery cart 20.0 m at constant speed on level ground, against a
35.0 N frictional force. He pushes in a direction 25.0° below the horizontal.
(a) What is the work done on the cart by friction? (26-30)
(b) What is the work done on the cart by the gravitational force? (31-35)
(c) What is the work done on the cart by the shopper? (36-40)
(d) Find the force the shopper exerts, using energy considerations. (41-45)

B. EXPLAIN the Law of Motion that drives the catsup out of the bottle when you shake it.
(46-50)

V. Bonus Question:

any challenges in front of me.”
