6. All of the following quantities except one represent a type of force. Which quantity is NOT
a force?
a. Friction
b. Mass
c. Weight
d. Gravity
7. If an object of constant mass travels with a constant velocity, which statement is true?
a. Momentum is constant.
b. Acceleration is zero.
c. Both a and b are true.
d. None of the above are true.
8. Movement in the transverse plane occurs around which axis?
a. Frontal (mediolateral)
b. Sagittal (anteroposterior)
c. Horizontal
d. Vertical (longitudinal)
9. The force that acts perpendicular to an object in contact with a surface is called:
a. friction force
b. normal contact force
c. internal force
d. colinear force
e. resolved force
10. When a sprinter uses starting blocks to enhance running performance, which of Newton's laws is
best represented by the interaction of the sprinter and the blocks?
a. Law of Action-reaction
b. Law of Acceleration
c. Law of Inertia
d. Law of Universal Gravitation
Section B: Short Answer Question
11. When working with a high jumper to try to maximize vertical displacement in order to clear the
high jump bar, what are two factors influencing projectile trajectory which you would seek to
optimize? (2 points)
• Projection Velocity – maximize the athlete’s velocity leading up to the jump
• Angle of Projection – greater angle of projection (> 45o) since the relative projection height is
less than zero.
