$$v = \sqrt{2gh}$$

Question 2

A stack of plates is precariously balanced in a cabinet (see the second image). If a plate falls and hits a hard floor, which factor most affects the force of impact?

Accepted Answer

The time of impact with the ground

Question 3

A ball of mass $$1\ \mathrm{kg}$$ moving at $$1\ \mathrm{m/s}$$ hits a wall and bounces back with the same speed in the opposite direction. What is the impulse delivered to the ball?

Accepted Answer

$$2\ \mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}$$

Question 4

Refer to the force vs. time graph (fourth image). What does the area under the curve represent?

Accepted Answer

Impulse

Question 5

A cannon fires a cannonball (see the fifth image). According to the law of conservation of momentum, what happens to the cannon when the ball is fired?

Accepted Answer

The cannon recoils with momentum equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the ball's momentum

Question 6

A worker lifts a 50 N bag to the first, second, and third floors as shown in images 6, 7, and 8. Which scenario requires the most work?

Accepted Answer

Lifting to the third floor

Question 7

A person pushes against a stationary wall for several minutes (see image 9). How much work is done on the wall?

Accepted Answer

$$0\ \mathrm{J}$$

Question 8

If you push a cart with a constant force $$F$$ for a distance $$d$$, and then push it twice as far with the same force, how does the work done compare?

Accepted Answer

The work is twice as much

Question 9

A 2 kg mass has 30 J of gravitational potential energy with respect to the ground. Approximately how high is it above the ground? (Use $$g = 10\ \mathrm{m/s^2$})$$

Accepted Answer

$$1.5\ \mathrm{m}$$

Question 10

Accepted Answer

It triples

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the law of conservation of momentum?
