Physics 1 Quiz| 50 Questions with 100% Correct
Answers
A sheet of paper can be withdrawn from under a container of milk without toppling it if the
paper is jerked quickly. This best demonstrates that
the milk cartoon has inertia
Which has the greater mass
an automobile battery
Which of the following is a scientific hypothesis?
the moon is made of green cheese
An object at rest near the surface of a distant planet starts to fall freely. If the acceleration
there is twice that of the Earth, its speed one second later would be
20 m/s.
Whereas Aristotle relied on logic in explaining nature, Galileo relied on
experiment.
A package falls off a truck that is moving at 30 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, the horizontal
speed of the package just before it hits the ground is
Zero
A karate chop delivers a blow of 3000 N to a board that breaks. The force that acts on the
hand during this event is
3000 N
The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are
distance and time.
, Consider a string with several rocks tied along its length at equally spaced intervals. You whirl
the string overhead so that the rocks follow circular paths. Compared to a rock in the middle
of the string, a rock at the outer end moves
Twice as fast
An astronaut on another planet drops a 1-kg rock from rest. The astronaut notices that the
rock falls 2 meters straight down in one second. On this planet, how much does the rock
weigh?
4N
A ball is thrown vertically into the air. Because of air resistance, its speed when it returns to
its starting level compared with its initial speed is
Less
Which of the following has the largest momentum relative to the Earth's surface?
pickup truck speeding along a highway
If you push an object a given distance, while applying twice the force, you do
twice as much work
An object released from rest on another planet requires one second to fall a distance of 6
meters. What is the acceleration in meters per second per second due to gravity on this
planet?
12
If a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer, its speed reading
would increase each second by about
10 m/s
Which car is the furthest from the intersection at time = 0 sec?
Car B
