1. Which of the following describes an object with a non-zero netforce acting on it? Choose all that apply.
The moped accelerated while making a left turn.
The motorcycle traveled at a constant speed while making au-turn.
The truck slowed down while making a right turn.
The spaceship traveled at a constant speed in a straightline.
The car sped up from 50 mph to 65 mph while moving in a straightline.

2. If you observe that an object is accelerating, what should youconclude?
A non-zero net force is acting on it. Only forces causeacceleration. As such, if an object is accelerating it must bebecause a non-zero net force is acting on it.
It must be in free fall.
It must be changing direction. Acceleration is a vector and vectorshave both magnitude and direction. Thus if an object isaccelerating it must be changing direction.
The forces acting on the object must be greater than the forces theobject is exerting.
It must be speeding up. If an object is accelerating that means itis speeding up.

3. Which of the following are true according to Newton's 2nd Law?Choose all that apply.

If the acceleration is zero, then the net force is zero.
If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with more masswill have a greater acceleration.
If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with less masswill have a greater acceleration.
If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with less masswill have a larger net force exerted on it.
If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with more masswill have a larger net force exerted on it.
The larger the net force on an object is, the larger theacceleration.
The larger the net force on an object is, the smaller theacceleration.

6. If an object is traveling in a circle, which of the followingmust be TRUE? Choose all that apply.
The object is slowing down.
The object is speeding up.

The object has a constant velocity.
The object is accelerating.

Object A collides on a horizontal frictionless surface with an initially stationary target, object X. The initial and final velocities of object A are shown. The final velocity of object X is not given.

a). At an instant during the collision, is the net force on object A zero or non-zero?

b) [During the collision, is the momentum of object A conserved? Explain. Is the momentum of the system consisting of objects A and X conserved? Explain. On the same horizontal surface, object C collides with an initially stationary target, object Z. The initial speeds of objects C and A are the same, and m_x = m_z > m_A = m_c. After the collisions, object C moves in the direction shown and has the same final speed as object A. In the space below, copy the vectors v_C1 and v_cr with their tails together. Use these vectors to draw the change in velocity vector for glider C, Delta v_c. Is the magnitude of the change in velocity vector of object A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the change in velocity vector of object C? Explain? Is the magnitude of the change in the momentum vector of object A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the change in the momentum vector of object C? Explain? Is the final speed of object X greater than, less than, or equal to the final speed of object Z? Explain. Consider the following incorrect statement: Gliders A and C have some change in momentum. They have the same mass, and because they have the same initial speed and same final speed. Delta-v is the same for each of.them." Discuss the error(s) in the reasoning.
