I. Directions: Circle the letter of the best answer.

1. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object’s motion will not change unless_____
A. the net force acting on it is greater than zero.
B. a force continues to be applied to the object.
C. its inertia is stronger than the applied force.
D. the object has no inertia.
2. It is more difficult to start a 50 kg box sliding across the floor than a 5kg box because the
50kg box has greater
A. size C. volume
B. inertia D. veloctiy

3. A jet engine pushing exhust backwards pushing the plane forward is an example of?
A. Newton’s First Law of Motion C. Fixed object Motion
B. Newton’s Second Law of Motion D. Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion

4. How much does a 3.0 kg bag of bolts weigh?

A. 3.0 kg C. 22.8 N
B. 3.0 N D. 29.4 N

5. A container with a mass of 5 kg is lifted to a height of 8 m. How much work is done by

the gravitational force?
A. 400 J C. Zero
B. -400 J D. 50 J

6. A container with a mass of 5 kg is lifted to a height of 8 m. How much work is done by

the external force?
A. 400 J C. Zero
B. – 400 J D. 50 J
7. The difference between mass and weight is ___________
A. Weight depends in gravity C. Weight is scalar, while mass is a vector
B. Mass is force, weight is not D. Mass depends on gravity
8. Which has more mass, a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of iron?
A. The feathers
B. The iron
C. They are equal
D. Neither of them

II. Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct. Write FALSE if the statement is
incorrect.
____________ 9. The weight w of an object is defined as the force of gravity acting on
an object of mass m. The object experiences an acceleration due to gravity g. w = mg.
TRUE
____________ 10. Precision of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is
to the correct value.

 ____________ 11. The precision of a measuring tool is related to the size of its
measurement increments. The smaller the measurement increment, the more precise
the tool.
____________ 12. When adding or subtracting measured values, the final answer can
contain only as many significant figures as the least precise value.
____________ 13. When dividing or multiplying measured values, the final answer
cannot contain more decimal places than the least precise value.
____________ 14. In analytical method, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to get
the magnitude of the angle of the vector.
____________ 15. You can get the angle of the resultant vector by getting the inverse
tangent of the quotient of the two vector components.

III. Directions. Perform the indicated operations. (16-25)

A. Convert 0.0000203090 km/h into scientific notation up to three significant figure and
convert the answer into m/s.

IV. Directions. Solve the following problems. (26-50)

A. Find the length of the x and y components of vector R if R is at an angle of 650 above the
x-axis and has a magnitude of 36m. (26-30)

B. A car speedometer has a 3.0% uncertainty. What is the range of possible speeds when
it reads 85 km/h? Convert this range into miles per hour. (1 km = 0.6214 mi) (31-35)

C. An infant’s pulse rate is measured to be 150 ± 5 beats/min. What is the percent

uncertainty in this measurement? (36-40)

D. EXPLAIN the Law of Motion that drives the catsup out of the bottle when you shake it.

V. Bonus Question:
What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?

“To be the best person I can be, I will be resilient and determined to persevere through
any challenges in front of me.”
