This all counts as 1 question in class because it's supposed to
be already known. So please answer all of them. I just want to be
sure I'm right.
Question 1
Which of the following statements are true regarding momentum?
Check all that apply.
|
The total momentum of an isolated system is conserved, but
internal forces can change the total momentum of the system |
|
pinitial = (m1v1)i + (m2v2)i + (m3v3)i + …
|
|
pfinal = (m1v1)f + (m2v2)f + (m3v3)f + …
|
|
The x and y components of momentum are independently
conserved |
|
Total momentum is conserved, but angular momentum is not. |
|
A figure skater spins faster when she draws in her arms because
torque is conserved. |
|
Momentum points in the same direction as the applied force |
|
Angular momentum points in the same direction as the net
applied torque |
|
Momentum points in the same direction as the velocity of the
object |
Question 2
A bug and the windshield of a moving car collide. Indicate which
of the following statements are TRUE. (Select all that apply)
|
The impulse on the bug and the car are the same magnitude |
|
The impact force on the bug and the car are the same
magnitude |
|
The change in velocity of the bug and the car are the same |
|
The change in momentum of the bug and the car are the same
magnitude |
Question 3
A running thief is being chased by the police, and he jumps on a
stationary skateboard hoping he will be able to go faster. That is
a good idea because:
|
Momentum is conserved, and thus his velocity will increase when
he jumps on the skateboard (which has a smaller mass). |
|
Angular momentum is conserved, so that the wheels on the
skateboard can spin much faster than his feet can run on the
ground. |
|
Momentum is conserved, and since his mass combined with the
skateboard is larger, he can go faster. |
|
Momentum is conserved, which means he will go a little slower
on the skate, but will look cooler as he does so. |
Question 4
Which of these are forms of energy? Check all that apply:
|
Gravitational Potential Energy |
Question 5
Bob pushes a 1-meter wide bookcase with a force of 100 N for 10
seconds, but the bookcase does not move due to friction. How much
work has Bob done?
Question 6
Which of the following are units of Work?
Question 7
If an object has kinetic energy, then it also must have...
(check all that apply)
Question 8
When an object is lifted 10 meters, it gains a certain amount of
potential energy. If the same object is lifted 20 meters, its
potential energy is:
Question 9
Which of the following statements are true? Check all that
apply:
|
Work is the what you get when a force acts over a certain
distance. Therefore, without distance or force there would be no
work. |
|
Work and Distance are related because force is acted over a
long distance. |
|
Without work you do not have force. |
|
Energy is the ability to do work or make work, and work is not
done without it. |
|
Energy causes a change, and work is needed for energy to
exist. |
|
Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change, and work is
the transfer of energy. |
|
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and potential energy is
stored energy. |
|
Potential energy is the energy of weight, and kinetic energy is
the energy of nuclear atoms. |
