I. chooses the correct answer from the given alternatives and write your answer on the
space provided
1. A net force of 3 N accelerates a mass of 3 kg at the rate of 1 m/s2. The acceleration of a
mass of 6 kg acted upon by a net force of 6 N is
a. twice as much.
b. half as much.
c. the same.
d. none of the above
2. A push on a 1-kilogram brick accelerates the brick. Neglecting friction, to equally
accelerate a 10-kilogram brick, one would have to push
a. with 100 times as much force.
b. with 10 times as much force.
c. with just as much force.
d. 1

with 10 the amount of force.

e. none of the above
3. A box is dragged without acceleration in a straight-line path across a level surface by a
force of 13 N. What is the frictional force between the box and the surface?
a. 13 N
b. Less than 13 N
c. More than 13 N
d. Need more information to say.
4. Suppose a particle is accelerated through space by a constant 10-N force. Suddenly the
particle encounters a second force of 10-N in a direction opposite to that of the first force.
The particle
a. is brought to a rapid halt.
b. theoretically accelerates to speeds approaching the speed of light.
c. continues at the speed it had when it encountered the second force.
d. gradually decelerates to a halt.
e. none of the above
5. If the net force acting on a cart doubles, what happens to the cart's acceleration?
a. It quarters.
b. It halves.
c. It stays the same.
d. It doubles.
e. It quadruples.
6. Suppose a cart is being moved by a force. If suddenly a load is dumped into the cart so
that the cart's mass doubles, what happens to the cart's acceleration?
a. It quarters.
b. It halves.
c. It stays the same.
d. It doubles.
e. It quadruples.
7. You pull horizontally on a 50-kg crate with a force of 450 N and the friction force on
the crate is 250 N. The acceleration of the crate is
a. 2 m/s2.
b. 4 m/s2.
c. 9 m/s2.
d. 14 /s2.

II. Work out (show all the necessary steps clearly with clear handwriting)

1. The net external force on the propeller of a 0.75 kg model airplane is 17N forward. What is
the acceleration of the airplane?

2. The next external force on a golf cart is 390 N norths. If the cart has a total mass of 270
kg, what are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration?

3. A car has a mass of 1.50 x 103 kg. What force is required to accelerate the car at 4.5 m/s 2
to the east?

4. A 2.0 kg mass starts from at the top of an inclined plane 85 cm long and slides down to
the bottom in 0.50 s. What net external force acts on the mass along the incline?

5. A ball pushed with a force of 13.5 N accelerations at 6.5 m/s2 to the right. What is the
mass of the ball?

6. On Earth, a scale shows that you weigh 585 N.

a. What is your mass?

b. What would the scale read on the moon (g = 1.60 m/s2)

7. Find the net force and acceleration for the following.(if the angle of an inclined plane is
450and the mass of the block is 150kg the angle of the applied force to pull the block is
300, the value of static friction is equal to 0.6
