Prelecture Concept Question 4.01

Part A
An object is moving in the absence of a net force. Which of the following best describes the object's motion?

ANSWER:

The object will speed up at a constant rate until it reaches a maximum speed.

The object will slow down at a constant rate until coming to rest.

The object will continue to move with a constant velocity.

The object will continue to move with a constant speed, traveling in a circular path.

The object will stop moving immediately and remain at rest until acted on by a net force.

Correct

Prelecture Concept Question 4.02

Part A
An object is moving with constant velocity. Which of the following best describes the force(s) acting on the object?

ANSWER:

A constant net force is acting on the object in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion.

The net force acting on the object is zero.

A constant net force is acting on the object in a direction opposite of the motion.

A constant net force is acting on the object in the direction of the motion.

Correct

Part A
A constant net force acts on an object. Which of the following best describes the object's motion?
ANSWER:

The object is moving with a decreasing acceleration.

The object is moving with a constant acceleration.

The object is at rest; its position is constant.

The object is moving with an increasing acceleration.

The object is moving with a constant velocity.

Correct

Prelecture Concept Question 4.04

Part A
The same net force is applied to two different objects. The second object has twice the mass of the first object. Compare
the acceleration of the two objects.
ANSWER:

The acceleration of object 1 is one-half of the acceleration of object 2.

The acceleration of object 1 is four times the acceleration of object 2.

The acceleration of object 1 is equal to the acceleration of object 2.

The acceleration of object 1 is one-fourth of the acceleration of object 2.

The acceleration of object 1 is twice the acceleration of object 2.

Correct

Prelecture Concept Question 4.05

Part A
An object is at rest on a tabletop. Earth pulls downward on this object with a force equal in magnitude to mg. If this force
serves as the action force, what is the reaction force in the action–reaction pair?

Correct

Prelecture Concept Question 4.06

Part A
A large truck collides head-on with a small car. The car is severely damaged as a result of the collision. According to
Newton's third law, how do the forces acting between the truck and car compare during the collision?

ANSWER:

The force on the truck is smaller than the force on the car.

The force on the truck is larger than the force on the car.

The force on the truck is equal to the force on the car.

The truck does not exert a force on the car during the collision.

The car does not exert a force on the truck during the collision.

Correct
