Question 5

If a man stands on a scale in an elevator accelerating upward, what does the scale read?

Accepted Answer

$$W_{	ext{scale}} = m(g + a)$$

Question 6

Which of the following is true about the difference between mass and weight?

Accepted Answer

Mass is an intrinsic property of an object, while weight depends on the local gravitational field.

Question 7

A 50 kg box is on a flat truck bed. If the coefficient of static friction is $$\mu_s = 0.20$$, what is the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the box starts to slide?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Which of the following best describes the direction of kinetic friction?

Accepted Answer

Kinetic friction acts opposite to the direction of motion.

A car skids to a stop on a dry concrete road. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $$\mu_k = 0.80$$, what is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the car?

Accepted Answer

$$f_k = \mu_k n$$

Question 10

Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about rolling friction?

Accepted Answer

Rolling friction acts perpendicular to the surface.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

The object accelerates in the direction of the net force.

Question 12

Which formula gives the gravitational force between two masses $$m_1$$ and $$m_2$$ separated by distance $$r$$?

Accepted Answer

$$F = G \frac{m_1$ m_2$}{r^2$}$$

Question 13

Accepted Answer

$$a = \frac{T - mg \sin 	heta}{m}$$

Question 14

Which of the following is true about the reading on a scale when an object is in free fall?

Accepted Answer

The scale reads zero; the object has no apparent weight.

Question 15

Which statement about the coefficients of friction is correct?

Accepted Answer

The coefficient of static friction is usually greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same materials.

Question 16

A box of mass $$m is at $$rest on a horizontal surface. If a horizontal force $$F is $$applied and the box does not move, what is the magnitude of the static friction force?

Accepted Answer

$$f_s = F$$

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct application of Newton's Second Law in the $$x-$$direction?

Accepted Answer

$$(F_{	ext{net}})_x = \sum (F_x)_i = m a_x$$

Question 18

Which of the following is true about drag force on a falling object?

Accepted Answer

Drag force increases with speed and eventually balances the gravitational force at terminal velocity.

Question 19

A car of mass $$m is $$pulled by a tow truck with tension $$T up a $$frictionless incline of angle $$	heta. $$What is the acceleration of the car?

Accepted Answer

$$a = \frac{T - mg \sin 	heta}{m}$$
