Midterm Exam of pre-Medical physics (spring 2018)

Answer the following ( 5 problems X 2 mark = 10 marks)

1. From the graph calculate the average acceleration in the interval t=0 to t=20s.

3. In the figure angle = 30, m=10kg. And the inclined plane is smooth. Find the tension in
the rope (g=9.81m/s2)

4. A stationary block is pushed by a force (F) against a rough wall as shown in the figure.
Determine the force of static friction exerted on the block if the mass is 0.5kg
(g=9.81m/s2).

5. An ice flake is released from rest at the brim of hemispherical glass container of radius
r=15cm, what is the speed of the flake at the lowest point of its trajectory(g=9.81m/s2)

Put () or (X) in front in each statement: (0.5 mark each)

1- Energy is vector quantity. ( )
2- Applying the break of your car when approaching the red light, your velocity become
negative. ( )
3- A free falling object is any object moving freely under the influence of gravity alone,
regardless of its initial motion ( )

4- The tendency of an object to continue in its original state of motion is called inertia ( )
5- If car move with constant acceleration . Can you conclude that there are no forces acting
on it ( )
6- Work – energy theorem state that work is the change in kinetic energy. ( )
7- Kinetic friction force is conservative. ( )

Encircle the correct answer: (8 questions X 1 mark = 8 marks)

1- The coefficient of kinetic friction has units
A. Pa.s B. N/kg C. N D. its unit less
2- A particle is moving eastward with acceleration directed eastward as well. As time
passes:
A. The particle will stop B. the speed increase C. the speed decrease
D. the velocity remain constant
3- A car is moving with uniform velocity. This implies that:
A. Displacement is zero b. acceleration is not zero
C. no force is exerted on it d. the net force on the car is zero
4- An object of mass (m) and weight (W) on earth on the moon's surface where the
acceleration due to gravity is only 1.62 m/s2 , the mass (m) of the object:
A. Is reduced by factor of B. decrease C. increase D. does not change
5- A spring scale is attached to the ceiling of an elevator and an object is suspended from
the scale lower end. As elevator is accelerated upwards the scale reading:
A. Decrease B. increase C. does not change D. become Zero
6- A ball is moving vertically downwards in free-fall process. As time passes:
A. Kinetic energy decrease B. potential energy increase
C. no work is done D. Kinetic energy increase
7- The work done by the force of kinetic friction is always negative because:
A. It is unit less B. it is directed opposite to displacement
C. its magnitude constant d. object is at rest
