4. A car travels at a constant speed of 20 m/s. After 4 sec, its speed is ____.

A. 10 m/s

B. 20 m/s

C. 60 m/s

D. 80 m/s

Correct Answer
B. 20 m/s

Explanation
Since the car is traveling at a constant speed of 20 m/s, its speed remains the same after 4
seconds. Therefore, the correct answer is 20 m/s.

5. Two boys are pushing a jeep, with a force of 20 N each. The jeep does not
move. The force of friction between the tires and the road is ________.

A. Less than 40 N

B. Greater than 40 N

C. Equal to 20 N

D. Equal to 40 N

Correct Answer
D. Equal to 40 N

Explanation
The force of friction between the tires and the road is equal to 40 N because the boys are
applying a force of 20 N each, resulting in a total force of 40 N. Since the jeep does not move,
it means that the force of friction is equal to the total force applied by the boys.

6. As an object freely falls, its _________.

A. Velocity remains constant

B. Velocity increases

C. Velocity decreases

D. Acceleration increases

Correct Answer
B. Velocity increases

Explanation
As an object freely falls, its velocity increases. This is because the object is accelerating due
to the force of gravity. As it falls, the force of gravity pulls it downwards, causing it to gain
speed and its velocity to increase.

7. While a car travels around a circular track at constant speed, its ________.

A. Acceleration is zero

B. Speed is zero

C. Both a and b

D. Neither a nor b

Correct Answer
D. Neither a nor b

Explanation
While a car travels around a circular track at a constant speed, its acceleration is not zero
because it is constantly changing direction, which requires centripetal acceleration.
Additionally, its speed is also not zero because it is moving along the track at a constant
speed. Therefore, the correct answer is neither a nor b.

8. The force of friction on a sliding object is 10 N. The applied force needed to

A. More than 10 N

B. Less than 10 N

C. 0 N

D. 10N

Correct Answer
D. 10N

Explanation
The force of friction on a sliding object is equal to the applied force needed to maintain a
constant velocity. In this case, the force of friction is 10 N, so the applied force needed to
maintain a constant velocity is also 10 N.

9. Neglecting friction, a large block of ice and a small block of ice start sliding
down an inclined plane together. The heavier block will get to the bottom
_____.

A. Before the light block

B. After the light block

C. At the same time as the light block

D. Melted and same size as the light block

Correct Answer
C. At the same time as the light block

Explanation
The correct answer is "at the same time as the light block". This is because neglecting friction
means that both blocks will experience the same acceleration down the inclined plane. Since
they start sliding together, they will continue to maintain the same relative positions
throughout the motion. Therefore, they will reach the bottom of the inclined plane at the same
time.

10. A block is dragged without acceleration in a straight-line path across a level

A. Less than 6 N

B. Greater than 6 N

C. 6 N

D. 0 N

Correct Answer
C. 6 N

Explanation
The force of friction between the block and the surface is 6 N. This is because if the block is
being dragged without acceleration, it means that the force of friction is equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction to the applied force of 6 N. Therefore, the force of friction must also
be 6 N.

11. <!--[if !supportLists]-->14. <!--[endif]-->The frictional force between two

A. The normal force pressing one against the other

B. The areas of the surfaces

C. If the surfaces are stationary or in relative motion

D. Whether or not a lubricant is used

Correct Answer
B. The areas of the surfaces

Explanation
The frictional force between two surfaces in contact does not depend on the areas of the
surfaces. Friction is determined by the normal force pressing one surface against the other,
whether the surfaces are stationary or in relative motion, and whether or not a lubricant is
used. The size or shape of the surfaces does not affect the frictional force.

12.

How many forces are acting on box m in diagram (a) below? *Friction is
present in all surfaces.

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 6

Correct Answer
B. 4

Explanation
In the given diagram (a), there are four forces acting on box m. These forces include the
gravitational force pulling the box downwards, the normal force exerted by the surface on the
box in the upward direction, the frictional force opposing the motion of the box, and the
applied force pushing the box in a certain direction.

13.

How many forces are acting on box M in diagram (a)?*Friction is present in all
surfaces.

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 6

Correct Answer
B. 4

Explanation
In diagram (a), there are four forces acting on box M. The weight of the box is acting
downwards due to gravity. The normal force is acting upwards perpendicular to the surface
the box is resting on. The friction force is acting in the opposite direction to the motion or
potential motion of the box. Finally, there is a force being applied to the box, which could be
from pushing or pulling it. Therefore, there are four forces acting on box M in diagram (a).
