I IDENTIFICATION: Identify what is being asked by the following statements. Write your answer in CAPITAL
LETTERS on the space provided before each number. FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE, ANY FORM OF ALTERATION
WILL BE CONSIDERED WRONG. (5 points)
______________________________1. Any object that is initially thrown into the air and continues to move on
its trajectory acted upon by the force of gravity. projectile
______________________________2. It is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. For example, a
heavy truck moving rapidly—it takes a large or prolonged force to
get the truck up to this speed, and it takes a large or prolonged force to
bring it to a stop afterwards. If the truck were lighter, or moving more
slowly, then it would have less force to bring it to stop. momentum
______________________________3. It is a form of energy associated with the vibration or disturbance of
matter. It is a mechanical wave. Sound en
______________________________4. A form of energy that is stored in chemicals, such as sugar and
gasoline. Chemical en
______________________________5. It is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms,
molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases that can be
transferred from one object to another. Heat energy

horizontal; Mahinhin throws her snowball upward, at 30O. When the snowballs reach the ground
below, __________.

D. Mahinhin's snowball never hits the ground since it is thrown upwards.
______3. When gymnasts vault over the pommel horse and land, they land on a big pad. How does the pad
help them?
A. The pad reduces the amount of momentum they have when they land.
B. The pad reduces the change of momentum when they land.
C. The pad reduces the total impulse when they land.
D. The pad increases the time it takes to stop, so the force is less when they land.
______4. Victor Velocity is standing on top of the roof of their house, firing stones with his slingshot over a
level field. He is aiming straight outward, horizontally. If Victor pulls back harder on his slingshot to
shoot a stone, which of the following quantities will be changed.
A. The vertical displacement of the stone. B. The time it takes the stone to strike the ground.
C. The distance the stone travels. D. the stone’s initial vertical velocity.

B. the net force acting on the ball is zero.
C. the ball is not acted upon by a force in the horizontal direction.
D. None of the other choices is correct.
______6. For general projectile motion, which statement is true when the projectile is at the initial and final
points of the parabolic path?
A. The magnitude of the x and y components of its velocity are same at both points.
B. The magnitude of its x component of velocity at the initial point is smaller than its magnitude of the
y component of velocity at the final point.
C. The magnitude of its x component of velocity at the initial point is bigger than its magnitude of the y
component of velocity at the final point.
D. The velocity components are zero at both points.
______7. James and John jumped from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down
from the edge. John takes a running start and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. When
they reach the lake below, __________.
A. the splashdown speed of John is larger than that of James.
B. the splashdown speed of James is larger than that of John.
C. they will both have the same splashdown speed.
D. the splashdown speed of James will always be 9.8 m/s larger than that of John.
______8. A boxer quickly learns to move his head backward when he sees he is going to receive a jab to the
head. What does this head motion accomplish?
A. It increases the momentum and decreases the force
B. It increases the contact time which decreases the force
C. It decreases the contact time which decreases the force
D. It causes confusion on the opponent.
______9. Guardrails along roadsides collapse (bend and crumple) when a car runs into them. This is done
__________.
A. so they can replace them every year and provide jobs for unemployed workers
B. so the cars cannot rebound back to the middle of the road
C. to increase the contact time and decrease the crash force
D. to increase the momentum and decrease the crash force
______10. A rubber ball and a lump of clay have equal mass. They are thrown with equal speed against a wall.
The ball bounces back with nearly the same speed with which it hit. The clay sticks to the wall. Which
one of these objects experiences the greater momentum change?
A. the clay
B. the ball
C. Both of them experience the same non-zero momentum change.
D. Both of them experience zero momentum change
______11. A heavy truck has more momentum than a passenger car moving at the same speed because the
truck __________.
A. has greater mass B. has greater speed
C. is not streamlined D. has a large wheelbase
______12.  In order to catch a ball, a baseball player naturally moves his or her hand backward in the direction
of the ball's motion once the ball contacts the hand. This habit causes the force of impact or “sting” on
the players hand to be reduced in size principally because __________.
A. the resulting impact velocity is lessened B. the momentum change is decreased
C. the time of impact is increased D. the time of impact is decreased
______13. When comparing the momentum of two moving objects, which of the following is correct?
A. The object with the higher velocity will have less momentum if the masses are equal.
B. The more massive object will have less momentum if its velocity is greater.
C. The less massive object will have less momentum if the velocities are the same.

You can teach a student a lesson for a day;

but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity,
he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.

Good luck to all of you as you step to the next ladder of success.
