1) An object is moving at a constant velocity.

All but one of the

following statements could be true. Which one cannot be true?

7)

(a) No forces act on the object.

(b) A single force acts on the object.
(c) Two forces act simultaneously on the object.
(d) Three forces act simultaneously on the object.
2) A truck is traveling horizontally to the right (in the figure
below).
When the truck starts to slow down, the crate
on the (frictionless)
truck bed starts to slide. In what direction could the net force be
on the crate?
(a) No direction. The net force is zero.
(b) Straight down (because of gravity).
(c) Straight up (the normal force).
(d) Horizontal and to the right.
(e) Horizontal and to the left.

3) Suppose an object is accelerated by a force of 100 N. Suddenly

a second force of 100 N in the opposite direction is exerted on the
object, so that the forces cancel. The object
(a) is brought to rest rapidly.
(b) decelerates gradually to rest.
(c) continues at the velocity it had before the second force was
applied.
9)
(d) is brought to rest and then accelerates in the direction of the
second force.
4) What is the mass on Mercury of an object that weighs 800 N
on the earths surface?
(a) 80 kg
(b) 48 kg
(c) 118 kg
(d) 26 kg
(e) There is not enough information to calculate the mass.

11) The drawing shows box 1 resting on a table, with box 2

resting on top of box 1. A massless rope passes over a massless,
frictionless pulley. One end of the rope is connected to box 2, and
the other end is connected to box 3. The weights of the three
boxes are W1 = 55 N, W2 = 35 N, and W3 = 28 N. Determine the
magnitude of the normal force that the table exerts on box 1.
