Unit Test – Newton’s Laws & Forces

1) If an object remains at rest, there must be no force acting on it. Is this statement

correct? Explain.

2) The tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion is called:

a) Newton’s first law b) Galileo’s principle c) Inertia

3) If the net force on an object is zero, the object MUST:

a) be at rest b) be in motion with a constant velocity c) have zero acceleration

4) An object weights 300 N on Earth and 50 N on the Moon. Does the object also have

less inertia on the Moon? Explain.

6) A 3.0-newton net force is applied to a 1.5-kilogram mass. What is its acceleration?

7) What is the mass of a person weighing 740 N?

8) The engine of a 1.0-kilogram toy plane exerts a 15-newton forward force on the plane.

If the air exerts an 8.0-newton resistive force on the plane, what is the magnitude of the

acceleration of the plane?

9) Three block are pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force as shown

below. a

T1 T1 T2 T2 F = 18.0 N

m1 m2 m3

a) What is the acceleration of the system?

b) What are the tension forces in the light stringes (T1 & T2)? [Hint: Can T1 = T2?

Investigate by drawing free-body diagrams of each block separately.]

10) A hockey player hits a puck with her stick, giving the puck an initial speed of 5.0

(m/s). If the puck slows uniformly and comes to rest in a distance of 20 m, what is the

coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the puck?
