QUESTION 1: MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS
Various options are provided as possible answers to the following questions. Choose
the answer and write only the letter (A–D) next to the question numbers (1.1 to 1.10) in
the ANSWER BOOK, e.g. 1.11 D.
1.1 A block with a mass of 20 kg moves towards the east at a constant velocity
across a rough horizontal surface, as shown in the diagram below.
Fapplied
Ff
θ
20 kg
The velocity is constant because …
A Ff = Fapplied and a = 9,8 m∙s-2.
B Fapplied < Ff and a = 0 m∙s-2.
C Fapplied sinθ = Ff and a = 9,8 m∙s-2.
D Fapplied cosθ = Ff and a = 0 m∙s-2. (2)
1.2 Newton's Third Law of Motion refers to action-reaction pairs of forces. Which
ONE of the following statements is INCORRECT for the action-reaction pairs
in the picture?
A They act along the same line.
B Both forces act on the hammer simultaneously.
