2 A vector quantity
A can be a dimensionless quantity.
B specifies only magnitude.
C specifies only direction.

D specifies both a magnitude and a direction.

3 A crumpled piece of paper hits the ground before a flat sheet of paper because

4 A ball is thrown vertically upward and falls downward freely. The direction of

its acceleration is

A downward during both ascent and descent.

B downward during ascent and upward during descent.

C upward during ascent and downward during descent.

D upward during both ascent and descent.

5 A freely falling body has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s''. This means that

A the body falls 9.8 m during each second.

B the body falls 9.8 m during the first second only.

C the speed of the body increases by 9.8 m/s during each second.

D the acceleration of the body increases by 9.8 m/s' during each second.

8 The average speed of a moving object during a given interval of time is

A the magnitude of its average velocity over the interval.

B the distance covered in aspect of the time interval divided by the time

C interval.

D one-half its speed at the end of the interval.

its acceleration multiplied by the time interval.

9 Aiman sliding on a flat, icy surface with a constant velocity is best described by

10 How does Newton's third law explain the process during a rocket takes off?

A The rocket's acceleration is positive, while the gasses acceleration is

negative but the direction is the same. The motion is therefore both

B "equal and opposite"

C The rocket is at rest until ignition.
The hot gasses move in one direction, while the rocket moves in the

D opposite direction but with equal magnitude force.

The hot gasses cause global warming.
