- B.
Acceleration of an object increase with increased force and decreases with decreased acceleration.
- C.
Acceleration of an object increase with increased force and decreases with decreased force.
- D.
Acceleration of an object increase with increased force and decreases with decreased mass.
- E.
Acceleration of an object increase with increased force and decreases with decreased velocity.
Correct Answer
D. Acceleration of an object increase with increased force and decreases with decreased mass.Explanation
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that as the force applied to an object increases, its acceleration will also increase. Conversely, as the mass of the object increases, its acceleration will decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with decreased mass.Rate this question:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite .
Correct Answer
reactionExplanation
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first object. This principle applies to all types of forces, whether they are contact forces or forces acting at a distance. It is a fundamental law of physics that helps explain the motion and interactions of objects in the universe.Rate this question:

An example of a system having both kinetic and potential energy would be
- A.
A piece of sugar
- B.
A book rest on the table
- C.
A stretch rubber band
- D.
An object in free fall
Correct Answer
D. An object in free fallExplanation
An object in free fall would have both kinetic and potential energy. As the object falls, it gains kinetic energy due to its motion. At the same time, it also gains potential energy due to its height above the ground. As the object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, and the total energy of the system remains constant. Therefore, an object in free fall is an example of a system having both kinetic and potential energy.Rate this question:

Kinetic energy is maximum for a roller coaster
- A.
At its highest points
- B.
At its lowest points
- C.
Somewhere in between
- D.
When there's no mass involved
Correct Answer
B. At its lowest pointsExplanation
The roller coaster has the maximum kinetic energy at its lowest points because at these points, it has the highest speed. According to the law of conservation of energy, as the roller coaster descends from higher points to lower points, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As the roller coaster loses height, it gains speed, resulting in maximum kinetic energy at its lowest points.Rate this question:

A truck is chasing a bicycle along a highway. Both have the same momentum. Which of the following is true?
- A.
The truck will eventually overtake the bicycle
- B.
The truck and bicycle have the same speed
- C.
The bicycle will outrun the truck
- D.
The bicycle will overtake the truck
Correct Answer
C. The bicycle will outrun the truckExplanation
The momentum of an object is determined by its mass and velocity. Since the truck and bicycle have the same momentum, it means that their masses and velocities are inversely proportional. Given that a truck is typically much heavier than a bicycle, it implies that the bicycle must be moving at a much higher velocity than the truck. Therefore, the bicycle will outrun the truck.Rate this question:

What example of Potential Energy is true?
- A.
Moving car
- B.
A book resting on table
- C.
A speeding bullet horizontally
- D.
A water drops on the turbine wheel
Correct Answer
B. A book resting on tableExplanation
A book resting on a table is an example of potential energy because it possesses stored energy due to its position relative to the ground. When the book is lifted off the table, work is done against gravity, and the potential energy increases. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy if the book is dropped, causing it to fall towards the ground. Therefore, the book resting on a table represents potential energy rather than the other options mentioned.Rate this question:

A plane mirror is?
- A.
Flat
- B.
Refraction
- C.
Acustic
- D.
Normal
- E.
The Index Of Refraction
Correct Answer
A. FlatExplanation
A plane mirror is flat, meaning that its surface is smooth and does not have any curvature. Unlike a curved mirror, a plane mirror reflects light rays without bending or distorting them. When light hits a plane mirror, it reflects off the surface at the same angle that it arrived, resulting in a clear and undistorted reflection. This property of a plane mirror makes it useful for various applications, such as in mirrors used for personal grooming or in optical devices like periscopes.Rate this question:

- E.
Normal
Correct Answer
E. NormalExplanation
The term "normal" in this context refers to the line perpendicular to the boundary between two mediums. When light passes from one medium to another, it undergoes reflection and refraction. The normal line is used to determine the angle of incidence and angle of reflection or refraction. It is an imaginary line that is drawn perpendicular to the boundary at the point where the light ray strikes it. By using the normal line, we can apply Snell's Law to calculate the direction and speed of the refracted light ray.Rate this question:

An Image From A Distance Less Than The Focal Point
- A.
Virtual and Erect
- B.
Diverging
- C.
Converging
- D.
Iris
- E.
Lens
Correct Answer
A. Virtual and ErectExplanation
When an image is formed from a distance less than the focal point, it is formed on the same side as the object and is virtual. A virtual image is formed when the light rays do not actually converge at the image location. The image is also erect, meaning it is the same orientation as the object. This indicates that the image is formed by a diverging lens, which causes the light rays to spread out. Converging lenses, on the other hand, bring the light rays together and form real and inverted images. The iris is not related to the formation of the image, and the lens is the optical component responsible for bending the light rays.Rate this question:

Diverging
- B.
Converging
- C.
Optic Nerve
- D.
Focal Point
- E.
Refraction
Correct Answer
A. DivergingExplanation
Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a condition where a person can see nearby objects clearly but has difficulty seeing distant objects. This occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. To correct nearsightedness, diverging lenses are used. Diverging lenses are concave lenses that cause light rays to spread out, allowing them to focus properly on the retina. This helps to improve distance vision for individuals with nearsightedness.Rate this question:

Optic Nerve
Correct Answer
E. Optic NerveExplanation
The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. It is not directly involved in causing the blind spot in the eye, but rather it is where the blind spot is located. The blind spot is caused by the absence of photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the area where the optic nerve exits the eye. This absence of photoreceptor cells results in a small area in the visual field where no information is detected, creating a blind spot.Rate this question:

- B.
Diffuse
- C.
Reflection
- D.
Refraction
- E.
Converging
Correct Answer
B. DiffuseExplanation
Diffuse reflection occurs when light rays strike a rough or uneven surface and scatter in different directions. This type of reflection does not produce a clear or focused image, as the light rays bounce off the surface at various angles. Unlike specular reflection, which occurs on smooth surfaces and produces a clear reflection, diffuse reflection is responsible for creating a matte or non-reflective appearance. Therefore, the given correct answer, "Diffuse," accurately describes the type of reflection that occurs from a rough surface.Rate this question:

All except one of the following require the application of a net force. Which ones the expection?
- A.
To change an object from a state of rest to a state of motion
- B.
To maintain an object in motion at a constant velocity
- C.
To change an objects speed w/out changing its direction of motion
- D.
To maintain an object in uniform circular motion
- E.
To accelerate an object
Correct Answer
B. To maintain an object in motion at a constant velocityExplanation
The exception is to maintain an object in motion at a constant velocity. This is because an object in motion at a constant velocity does not require a net force to keep it moving at a steady speed and in the same direction. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, no net force is needed to maintain its motion.Rate this question:

- B.
Half the persons weight
- C.
Between 250 and 500 N
- D.
Greater than 500 N
- E.
50 Kg
Correct Answer
D. Greater than 500 NExplanation
The tension in the rope is greater than 500 N because the person's weight is 50 kg. Since weight is a force and is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration due to gravity, the person's weight would be 50 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 490 N. However, the tension in the rope would be greater than the person's weight because the rope needs to support the person's weight and also provide an upward force to keep the person suspended. Therefore, the tension in the rope would be greater than 500 N.Rate this question:

- B.
4.4 m/s^2
- C.
2.2 m/s^2
- D.
27 m/s^2
- E.
None
Correct Answer
A. 3.6 m/s^2Explanation
The hot rod starts at rest and uniformly accelerates over a distance of 400 meters in 15 seconds. To find the acceleration, we can use the equation: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. Since the hot rod starts at rest, the initial velocity is 0 m/s. The final velocity can be found using the equation: final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration * time). Plugging in the given values, we get: final velocity = 0 + (acceleration * 15). We also know that the distance covered is equal to the average velocity multiplied by time, so 400 = (0 + final velocity) / 2 * 15. Solving these equations, we find that the acceleration is approximately 3.6 m/s^2.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 14 m/s downExplanation
When the ball is thrown up, it experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity pulling it downwards. The initial velocity of 15 m/s is gradually reduced by this acceleration. After 3.0 seconds, the ball would have traveled upwards and then started to fall back down. At this point, its velocity would be 14 m/s, but in the opposite direction, which is downwards. Therefore, the correct answer is 14 m/s down.Rate this question:

A 20.0 kg block on a smooth horizontal surface is acted upon by two horizontal forces: a force of 20 N acting to the left and a force of 60 N to the right? The acceleration fo the block will be
- A.
3.0 m/s^2 to the right
- B.
4.0 m/s^2 to the right
- C.
40 m/s^2 to the right
- D.
2.0 m/s^2 to the left
- E.
None
Correct Answer
E. NoneExplanation
The net force acting on the block is the vector sum of the two horizontal forces. In this case, the net force is 60 N to the right (60 N - 20 N = 40 N). According to Newton's second law (F = ma), the acceleration of the block is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the block. However, since the question does not provide the mass of the block, we cannot determine the acceleration. Therefore, the correct answer is "none".Rate this question:

Which of the following units would be approriate to describe force?
- A.
Kg*m/s^2
- B.
M/s^2
- C.
Kg/s
- D.
Kg*m/s
- E.
None
Correct Answer
A. Kg*m/s^2Explanation
The unit kg*m/s^2, also known as Newton (N), is the appropriate unit to describe force. This is because force is defined as the product of mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s^2) according to Newton's second law of motion. The unit kg*m/s^2 represents the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram at a rate of 1 meter per second squared. Therefore, kg*m/s^2 is the correct unit for force.Rate this question:

What is the magnitude of the accleration produced by a net force of 4500 N acting on a 900 kg automobile?
- A.
.20 m/s^2
- B.
3.8 m/s^2
- C.
5.0 m/s^2
- D.
9.8 m/s^2
- E.
None
Correct Answer
C. 5.0 m/s^2Explanation
The magnitude of acceleration produced by a net force can be calculated using the formula F = ma, where F is the net force and m is the mass of the object. In this case, the net force is given as 4500 N and the mass of the automobile is given as 900 kg. Plugging these values into the formula, we get 4500 N = 900 kg * a. Solving for a, we find that the magnitude of acceleration is 5.0 m/s^2.Rate this question:
