Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If you apply twice the force on an object for twice the time, there will be a change in velocity that will be a (an)....

Answer: 4 fold increase

Force times time is equal to mass times change in velocity so there will be a 4 fold increase.
2. The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends upon what factors?

Answer: mass and speed

Kinetic energy is one- half times mass times the speed squared.
3. If a 10kg object is pushed with a 20N force and there is a coefficient of friction of 0.4, what will the acceleration be?

Answer: 0 meters per second squared

Because 0.4 times 100 N makes the friction greater than the force applied, the object doesn't move!
4. A real image is never created by a) concave lenses b) convex lenses c) concave mirrors d) convex mirrors

Answer: a) and d)

Real images can be presented on a screen, but not by convex mirrors or concave lenses.... these create virtual images.
5. The Space Shuttle, when orbiting the earth experiences....

Answer: Free fall

The space shuttle is falling at the same rate as the earth falls away below it, so it doesn't crash into the earth, and is in continual free fall !
6. Speed is to velocity as ...

Answer: distance is to displacement

Speed and distance are Scalars. Displacement and velocity are vectors.
7. The amount of work done by a carpenter holding a 20kg sheet of drywall at 2.5 meters for 30 minutes is...

Answer: 0 J

For physics work to be done a force must be moved a distance. No motion no work!
8. Which has more momentum and, or kinetic energy, a 1000kg Volkswagen at 40.0 meters per second or a 4000kg Explorer at 10 meters per second ?

Answer: Same momentum, Volkswagen has more kinetic energy

While they have the same momentum, the Volkswagen has 4 times the kinetic energy!
9. A block is struck by a pendulum bob at the lowest point in its swing. How much faster will the block's initial speed be after being struck if the bob is swung from four times the height? Assume that the bob and the block have the same mass and the collision is perfectly elastic.

Answer: 2 times as fast

Speed will depend on the square root of the energy so 2 is the square root of 4.
10. If a rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second, the rock will reach a height of approximately ...

Answer: 45 meters

It's 3 seconds to the top and the average speed is 15 meters per second so 45 meters.
