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

Question 7

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff. Which statement best describes the motion of the ball?

Accepted Answer

The horizontal velocity remains constant while the vertical velocity increases due to gravity.

Question 8

A satellite orbits Earth in a circular path. What provides the centripetal force required for its motion?

Accepted Answer

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite.

Question 9

Which of the following best describes the direction of acceleration for an object moving in uniform circular motion?

Accepted Answer

It is always directed toward the center of the circle.

Question 10

A cyclist speeds up while moving in a straight line. Which of the following best describes the relative direction of velocity and acceleration?

Accepted Answer

Velocity and acceleration are in the same direction.

Question 11

A ball is thrown at an angle $$	heta$$ above the horizontal with initial speed $$v_0. $$What is the maximum height reached by the ball?

Accepted Answer

$$h_{max} = \frac{v_0$^2 \sin^2$ 	heta}{2g}$$

Question 12

Which of the following statements about static friction is correct?

Accepted Answer

Static friction can vary up to a maximum value and prevents motion between surfaces.

Question 13

A car rounds a curve of radius $$r at $$speed $$v. If $$the curve is banked at an angle $$	heta$$, which force helps prevent the car from skidding outward?

Accepted Answer

The normal force's horizontal component.

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct formula for the period $$T of an $$object in uniform circular motion of radius $$r$$ and speed $$v$$?

Accepted Answer

$$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$$

Question 15

A person throws a ball straight up with initial velocity $$v_0. $$Neglecting air resistance, what is the velocity of the ball when it returns to the thrower's hand?

Accepted Answer

$$-v_0$

Question 16

Which of the following best explains why astronauts in orbit feel 'weightless'?

Accepted Answer

They are in continuous free fall around Earth, experiencing no normal force.

Question 17

A block of mass $$m is at $$rest on an inclined plane with angle $$	heta. $$The coefficient of static friction is $$\mu_s. $$What is the minimum value of $$\mu_s$$ required to prevent the block from sliding?

Accepted Answer

$$\mu_s = 	an 	heta$$

Question 18

A ball is dropped from a height $$h$$ and takes time $$t to $$reach the ground. Which equation relates $$h$$, $$g$$, and $$t$$?

Accepted Answer

$$h = \frac{1}{2} g t^2$

Question 19

A car accelerates from rest with constant acceleration $$a$$ for time $$t. $$What is its final velocity?
