Question 1

WRONG
A rally driver has 5 seconds to stop his car which traveling at a speed of 20 m/s. What is his average
acceleration?
4 m/s2
3 m/s2
0.25 m/s2
1 m/s2

WRONG

It is quartered.
It is doubled.
It is quadrupled.
It is halved.
Question 2 Explanation:

doubled,

F=Gm1m2r2 When the radius is

F=Gm1m2(2r)2=Gm1m24r2or(14)Gm1m2r2

Question 3
WRONG
Which of the following is true about potential energy?
None of the above
Potential energy is dependent with altitude.
a and b
Potential energy only exists when an object is at rest.
Question 3 Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is dependent with altitude but elastic potential energy is not. Potential energy
as a whole is dependent on position for which altitude is an example. Potential energy does not only exist in
objects at rest. Consider a free falling object, until it hits altitude zero, it will continue to possess potential
energy relative to its altitude.
Question 4

A 3.5-kg musket fired a 75-gram bullet. If the musket recoiled at a rate of 2 m/s. What is the initial velocity
for the bullet?
2 m/s
93.33 m/s
36.67 m/s

should be equal to the momentum of the musket. Thus, mmusket=mbullet

(vbullet) vbullet=93.33m/s

When Ryota looked at himself in the mirror, he look taller then he expected. Why is this so?
The mirror was concave.
The mirror has nothing to do with it.
The mirror was convex.
The mirror was taller.
Question 9 Explanation:
A vertically convex mirror, i.e., one that curves towards you in the vertical plane will make you look taller and
thereby proportionally thinner. If it is also convex in the horizontal plane you will be even thinner. A
concave mirror has the opposite effect.

down the plane?
F=200/cos 20o
F=200/sin 20o
F = (200)(cos 20o)
F = (200)(sin 20o)
Question 14 Explanation:

Sin20 = 200/F

F = 200/sin20
Question 15
WRONG
An object is moving in a circle at constant speed, which of the following is true about the object?
It is accelerating tangent to the circle.
None of the above.
It is not accelerating.
It is accelerating towards the center.
Question 15 Explanation:

An object in circular motion is being pulled by an inward force towards the center. Since a force is acting on
the object, thus it is accelerating. In terms of velocity, an object in circular motion has its velocity changing
direction all the time thus it is accelerating (change in velocity).

happens when two bodies of equal masses and equal speeds collide?
They bounce back with the same speed and distance.
They stick together.
They bounce sideways.
Could not be determined.
Question 16 Explanation:
According to the Law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of a system is conserved. When
bodies of equal masses and equal speeds collide, they bounce back with the same speed and distance.
Question 17
CORRECT
Which of the following statements is true about momentum?
Momentum is a force.
Momentum only applies to moving objects.
An object has a bigger mass then it will have a larger momentum than a
smaller object.
Momentum is scalar.
Question 17 Explanation:
Solution: Momentum is only present if an object has velocity, thus moving. Momentum is a vector. Mass is
not the only factor affecting momentum a smaller object at a faster speed may have a momentum bigger
than a bigger object moving at a slower pace. Momentum is not a force by itself.

Question 30
CORRECT

The graph below shows the movement of Car A starting point A following a straight narrow path. What can
be concluded about Car As movement at t = 6 secs and t = 3

secs?
Car A went on reverse at t = 6 secs and is moving at constant velocity at t
= 3 secs until it accelerated at t = 4 secs.
Car A went on reverse at t = 6 secs and stopped moving at t = 3 secs and
resumed motion at t = 4 secs.
Car A decelerated at t = 6 secs and is moving at constant velocity at t = 3
secs until it accelerated at t = 4 secs.
Car A stopped moving at t = 6 secs and is moving at constant velocity at t =
3 secs until it accelerated at t = 4 secs.
Question 30 Explanation:
Solution: The graph above shows the displacement of Car A on a narrow straight path. At t = 6 secs, it
showed that the cars displacement is negative relative to point A. This can only happen if the car went on
reverse. From t = 3 secs to t = 4 secs the displacement did not change, therefore we can conclude that the
car was not moving.
