Name: _______________________________________________

General Directions:
 Read the instructions and questions below carefully.
 Strictly, NO ERASURES!
 Write your answers in a clear bond paper.
 After answering, you take a picture of it and send it to me thru my MESSENGER account.
 SUBMIT IT TO ME NOT LATER THAN 5 PM!!!

I. Write PHYSICAL if the statement is true and SCIENCE if false (2pts. each).

__________1. Acceleration occurs when there is a change in velocity.

__________2. Newton (N) is the SI unit for force.

__________3. Scalar quantity measures both magnitude and direction.

__________4. Direction is as important as distance in describing motion.

__________5. If a car is increasing in speed, its acceleration is decreasing.

__________6. Newton discovered gravity.

__________7. Every object in the universe attracts every other object.

__________8. Cavendish determined the value of G using his apparatus microscope.

__________9. The branch of physics that deals with the study of motion is mechanics.

__________10. Displacement is the total path in which an object travels.

__________11. Newton’s first law of motion is also called law of acceleration.

__________12. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

__________13. The greater the masses of the objects, the lesser the force of attraction between them.

__________14. Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motions is an example of empirical law.

__________15. If distance increases, the gravitational force increases too.

__________16. Inertia is the tendency of an object to stay ate rest or in motion.

__________17. The value for the gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2.

__________18. Motion is a vector when it includes only direction.

__________19. Speed equals distance multiplied by time.

__________20. Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and the final point.
II. Problem Solving (5pts. each). Show your solutions as clearly and orderly as possible. Box your final
answers.
1. What magnitude of a net force is required to give a 135 kg refrigerator an acceleration of 1.40
m/s2?

2. A box rests on a frozen pond. If fisherman applies a force with a magnitude 48.0 N to the box and
produces an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2, what is the mass of the box?

3. A car travels a distance of 540 km in 6 hrs. What speed did it travel at? (1km=1000m;1hr=3600s)

4. A whale swims at a constant speed of 8 m/s for 17 s. what distance did it travel?

5. A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?

6. An object with a mass of 1500 g accelerates 10. 0 m/s 2 when an unknown force is applied to it.
What is the amount of the force? (1kg=1000g)

7. If a net horizontal force of 130 N is applied to a person with mass 60.0 kg who is resting on the
edge of a swimming pool, what horizontal acceleration is produced?

8. The mass of the Sun is 2.0 x 10 30 kg, and that of Earth is 6.0 x 10 24 kg. The average radius of the
orbit of Earth is 1.5 x 1011 meters. Find the gravitational force the Sun Exerts on Earth.
