Question 1

In raising an object to a given height by means of an inclined plane, as compared with raising the object vertically,
there is a reduction in:
b. force required

Question 2
Two objects interact with each other and with no other objects. Initially object A has a speed of 5m/s and object B has
a speed of 10m/s. In the course of their motion they return to their initial positions. Then A has a speed of 4m/s and B
has a speed of 7m/s. We can conclude:
b. mechanical energy was decreased by nonconservative forces

Question 3
Which of the following five units represents a quantity that is NOT the same as the other four?
b. watt

Question 4
Suppose that the fundamental dimensions are taken to be: force (F), velocity (V) and time
(T). The dimensions of potential energy are then:
a. FVT

Question 5
A 50-N force is the only force a 2-kg crate that starts from rest. At the instant the object has gone 2m
the rate at which the force is doing work is:
a. 500W

Question 8
Which of the following five quantities is NOT an expression for energy? Here m is a mass, g is the acceleration due to
gravity, h and dare distances, F is a force, v is a speed, a is an acceleration, P is power, and t is time.
b. ma

Question 9
An escalator is used to move 20 people (60 kg each) per minute from the first floor of a department store to the
second floor, 5m above. Neglecting friction, the power required is approximately:

P= work/Time

30+90=120
180-120=60

P=20x60x9.8x5/60
P=1000w

Question 10
Only if a force on a particle is conservative:
d. is its work zero when the particle moves exactly once around any closed path

Question 11

Which of the following groups does NOT contain a scalar quantity?

c. displacement, acceleration, force

Question 12
A line drive to the shortstop is caught at the same height as it was originally hit. Over its entire flight the work done by
gravity and the work done by air resistance, respectively, are:
a. zero; negative
