Ball A was dropped from the top of a tall building. At the same instant and from the same height ball B was thrown straight downward. Neglecting the effects of air friction, compare their accelerations while they were falling. A. Their accelerations are equal. B. Ball A has the greater acceleration. C. Ball B has the greater acceleration.

D. It is impossible to tell since their accelerations vary greatly. E. None of the above. 2.(03.2)

Two objects, A and B, accelerated from rest at the same uniform rate. Object B accelerated for a distance twice as long distance A. Compare to Object A, Object B was moving A. Twice as fast. B. 1.414 times as fast C. Three times as fast. D. Four times as fast. E. None of the above. 3.(03.4)

Which of the following statements is correct?

A. When you are not moving there is no force exerting on you. B. When there is no force exerting on you, you cannot move. C. When you are not moving there is no net force exerting on you. D. There must always be force acting on you when you move. E. None of the above. 4.(03.5)

A desk and a book are resting on the ground. Which of the following changes when the book is put on the desk?

A. The net force acting on the desk. B. The gravitational force acting on the desk.

Car A ran the red light and hit Car B which had the right of way at the intersection. Car A was more severely damaged than Car B, but fortunately no one was injured. You are to investigate the accident and decide which of the following statements is correct.

A. Driver of Car A was at fault because Car A collided with Car B before Car B collided with Car A.

B. Driver of Car A was at fault even though both cars collided at the same moment. C. Both drivers were at fault because both cars collided at the same moment.

D. Driver of Car B was at fault because Car B exerted more force on Car A, and as a result, car A was damaged more.

E. Driver of Car A was at fault because being the initiator Car A exerted more force on Car B. 6. (03.15)

In Newtonian mechanics the upper limit of speed any object could reach under constant action of a force F is ___. In Relativistic mechanics, however, the mass of an object is no longer a constant, but changes with the speed v of the object in the following way: m =Here c is the speed of light in vacuum,

and m0 is the mass when the object is at rest. Therefore, the maximum speed the object under constant action of force could reach is ___. A. , B. F/m, F/m0 C. F/ m0, F/m D. c, E. , c
