1- The following are scalar quantities except:

(a) Speed (b) Displacement (c) Length
(d) Mass

2- Which statement is true about the unit vectors î, ĵ and k̂?
(a) Their directions are defined by a left-handed coordinate system.
(b) The angle between any two is 90 degrees.
(c) Each has a length of 1 m.
(d) They are all parallel.

3- Two vectors ⃗A and ⃗B may be defined to be equal if they:

(a) Have the same magnitude and point in the same direction.
(b) Have the same magnitude and point in opposite direction.
(c) Are parallel.
(d) Are perpendicular.

4- A unit vector is:

a) dimensionless vector
b) 1m
c) Infinity
d) Square root of -1

5- Instantaneous acceleration is:

(a) The maximum velocity
(b) The average acceleration
(c) The limit of the average acceleration as time approaches zero
(d) The time change of distance

6- If the velocity of a particle moving along the x axis varies according to the expression
vx= 40 - 5t2, what is the average acceleration in the time interval t = 0 to t = 2 s and what
is the acceleration at t = 2 s.

a= (20-40)/2 = -10 m/s2

1
the acceleration at t = 2 s is a = -20 m/s2

7- Use dimensional analysis to calculate the exponents (m and n) in the expression: x =

5 am t n , where x is distance, a is acceleration and t is time.

m=1
n=2

8- A projectile is launched at an angle of 37° above the horizontal and at a speed of

115 m/s. How far does it reach in the horizontal direction?

R = v2i sin 2θi /g

=(115x115xsin74)/9.8 =1297.2 m

9- A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 23° above the horizontal and at a
speed of 14 m/s. How far does he jump in the horizontal direction? and what is the
maximum height reached?
R = v2i sin 2θi /g

h = v2i sin2 θi /2g

10- A toy is rotating at a constant speed of 13 m/s in a circle of radius 7 m. What is the
magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the toy.

a= V2/r =13x13/7 = 24.14 m/s2
