I. Multiple Choice: Answer the following questions carefully. Use your test booklet to answer
the following questions

1. when launching a projectile from level ground the angle that will result in max range is ___
a. 9.8 m/s2 c. 9.8 m/s2 downward
b. 45 degrees d. 9.8 m/s
2. if you drop an object, its speed will increase ______ every second
a. 98 m/s c. 45 degrees
b. 9.8 m/s2 d. none of the above
3. If a vector that is 1 cm long represents a velocity of 10 km/h, what velocity does a vector 2 cm
long drawn to the same scale represent?
a. 9.8 m/s c. 9.8 m/s2
b. 90 degrees d. 20 km/h
4. you throw a ball straight up the ball returns to your hand with the same _____ it left with
a. speed c. same
b. time d. Zero
5. a quantity that has magnitude and direction
a. velocity c. resultant
b. zero d. vector
6. if you throw a ball straight up the entire time the ball's acceleration is...
a. 9.8 m/s2 downward c. 90 degrees
b. 9.8 m/s2 d. 9.8 m/s
7. an object in free fall is known as a
a. vector c. projectile
b. free fall d. same rate
8. horizontal acceleration is always _________ because the ball is in free fall
a. vector c. parabola
b. range d. zero
9. Why is speed classified as a scalar quantity and velocity classified as a vector quantity?
a. Speed has no particular direction; velocity specifies direction.
b. Same; both are under the influence of gravity
c. There is no horizontal component of gravitational force.
d. Always measure from the positive X-axis
10. At the instant a ball is thrown horizontally over a level range, a ball held at the side of the first is
released and drops to the ground. If air resistance is neglected, which ball strikes the ground
first?
a. There is no horizontal component of gravitational force.
b. Same; both are under the influence of gravity.
c. The diagonal
d. They hit the ground at the same time.

II. Simple recall: Use the pool of words to answer the following questions

1. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed
and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
2. The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another
3. Combination of all forces acting on an object; net force can be balanced or unbalanced
4. means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects
 5. The initial push or pull of one object on another object
6. the amount of matter in an object
7. the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter
8. The speed at which the acceleration of a falling object is zero
9. the reciprocal action or influence
10. The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the
magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to
the mass of the object.
11. A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.
12. The measuring with air and floor
13. Units that is equal forces
14. Force that completely balances the weight of an object at rest
15. effects moving and non-moving objects

Mass Friction Net force

Newton’s second law interaction Pascal

Newton’s third law Action Force inertia

support force Newton Newton’s first law

air resistance Terminal Speed Law of Inertia

III. Problem Solving: Solve on what is missing value

1. A 1 nanogram object accelerated at a constant 5 m/s2. Estimate the net force needed to accelerate
the object.
2. Mass of an object = 1 kg, net force ∑F = 2 Newton. Determine the magnitude and direction of the
object’s acceleration….
3. Object’s mass = 2 kg, F1 = 5 Newton, F2 = 3 Newton. The magnitude and direction of the acceleration
is…
