What is the conversion factor between km/h and m/s?
A)0.0278 m/s
B) 0.278 m/s
C) 3.60 m/s
D) 16.7 m/s

​Solution: B
* When you want to convert any value from km/h to m/s
you multiply
the value with (5/18).* (5/18) = 0.278
A useful method of expressing very small or very large

Solution: A
* Scientific notation is form that describe the
large values or small values in simplest form.
All of the following are base units of the SI system
except:

have?
A) four
B) five
C) seven
D) ten
Solution: C
* Metric system bases units are 7 units.
The base SI unit of time is

units?
A) Newton, centimeter, second
B) kilogram, meter, second
C) gram, centimeter, minute
D) gram, centimeter, second
Solution: D
* The CGS system is variable from metric system * The based units of
CGS system (cm, gm, s)
The metric prefix for one one-thousandth is
A) milli.
B) Centi.
C) kilo.
D) mega.
Solution: A
* According to the conversation of units, So (1meter = 0.001 meter)
* Which means that milli is equal one-thousandth of meter.
The metric prefix for one one-hundredth is
A) milli.
B) centi.
C) kilo.
D) mega.              
Solution: B
*According to the conversation of units, So 1 cm =0.01m * Which
means that centi equals one-hundredth
The metric prefix for one thousand is
A) milli.
B) centi.
C) kilo.
D) mega.
Solution: C
According to conversation of units, So 1km = 1000m
* Which means that kilometer is one thousand.

Which of Newton's laws best explains why
motorists should buckle-up?
A) the first law
B) the second law
C) the third law
D) the law of gravitation
Newton’s First - An object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and
A in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. A person in a
car has motion relative to the motion of the car. If the car stops suddenly due
to the force of the brakes the person in the car will keep moving unless acted
upon by an external force. In this instance the set belt provides the force to
stop the motion of the person in the car.
When the rocket engines on the starship NO-PAIN-NO-GAIN
are suddenly turned off, while
traveling in empty space, the starship will
A) stop immediately.
B) slowly slow down, and then stop.
C) go faster and faster.
D) move with constant speed.

D it will move constant velocity becauce there is no

forces (gravity, friction, air resistance, etc...)
acting on the body, so it wil not accelerate or
slowly slow down then stop
A constant net force acts on an object. Describe the
motion of the object.
A) constant acceleration
B) constant speed
C) constant velocity
D) increasing acceleration

A it depends on newton’s second law that is the force relatives

directly with the acceleration and relative indirectly with the mass,
because the mass is uniform, so the constant net force will cause
constant acceleration
A net force F acts on a mass m and produces an acceleration
a. What acceleration results if a
net force 2F acts on mass 4m?
A) a/2
B) 8a
C) 4a
D) 2a

D
If you blow up a balloon, and then release it, the
balloon will fly away. This is an illustration
of
A) Newton's first law.
B) Newton's second law.
C) Newton's third law.
D) Galileo's law of inertia
it depends on the newton’s third law that is every action has a
C reaction has the same force and opposite in direction and when we
blow up a balloon a let it, the air get out from it (action) and the
balloon fly away at the opposite direction with the
same force (reaction
Two cars collide head-on. At every moment during the collision, the
magnitude of the force
the first car exerts on the second is exactly equal to the magnitude of the
force the second car
exerts on the first. This is an example of
A) Newton's first law.
B) Newton's second law.
C) Newton's third law.
D) Newton's law of gravitation.
it depends on the newton’s third law that is every action has a
C reaction has the same force and opposite in direction dua to the
two car has the same magnitude of force and differ in direction so
the two cars will have the same damage to each other
A golf club hits a golf ball with a force of 2400 N. The
golf ball hits the club with a force
A) slightly less than 2400 N.
B) exactly 2400 N.
C) slightly more than 2400 N.
D) close to 0 N.
according to newton’s third law so the magnitude of
B force of the golf ball will be equal to the magnitude of
force of golf club so it will be exactly 2400 N
Mass and weight
A) both measure the same thing.
B) are exactly equal.
C) are two different quantities.
D) are both measured in kilograms
Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body and
C  measured in kilograms, but the weight is the force exerted
on a body by gravity and is measured in newtons
A stone is thrown straight up. At the top of its path, the
net force acting on it is
A) greater than its weight.
B) greater than zero, but less than its weight.
C) instantaneously equal to zero.
D) equal to its weight.
When we throw something up while it's flying high, there's more
D than one force acting on it (gravity and air resistance), but when it
reaches the highest point, the position energy will be as high as
possible and the net force acting on the object is equal to
the weight force.
An object of mass m is hanging by a string from the
