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 exhaust backwards pushing the plane forward is an example of?
A. Newton’s First Law of Motion C. Fixed object Motion
B. Newton’s Second Law of Motion D. Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion

4. How much does a 3.0 kg bag of bolts weigh?

A. 3.0 kg C. 22.8 N
B. 3.0 N D. 29.4 N

5. The gravity of Jupiter is about 3 times what it is on Earth. If an object’s mass is 180 kg
on Earth, what would its mass be on Jupiter?
A. 60 kg C. 180 kg
B. 90 kg D. 540 kg

6. A farmer pulls a cart weighing 13.26 lbs. for 15.0 meters. If the farmer pulls at the rope
attached to the cart at an angle of 300, how much work is done? CF: 1kg = 2.21 lbs
A. 77.94 J C. 1, 688.07 J
B. 763.83 J D. 172.25 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. A crane lifts a 1800 kg load of scrap metal to a distance of 12 m in 20 seconds. How

much horsepower is delivered to the load? CF: 1hp = 746 watts
A. 1, 080 hp
B. 1.45 hp
C. 14.19 hp
D. 10, 584 hp

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.

 ____________ 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. Impulse is the same as the change in momentum. TRUE
____________ 15. Newton actually stated his second law of motion in terms of
momentum. TRUE

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)

IV. Directions. Briefly explain the given situation.

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

V. Bonus Question: You make me feel I am a second option! (3pts)

I started to get jealous. You are holding me, but you are staring at the
other. You said it’s hard without me at your side, but I realize you’re happy with
the other even without me. It hurts to see you’re more excited to see the other
even without thinking where I am. I am a second option. But someday, I know
someone’s gonna have me, only to realize that I will be and will always be remembered
only when you need me. (What am I and the other?)

“To be the best person I can be, I will be resilient and determined to persevere through
any challenges in front of me.”
