General Physics 1

This document contains a physics test with multiple choice and free response questions. The multiple choice section covers identifying terms related to measurement error, uncertainty, accuracy, precision, regression to the mean, error bars, vector/scalar quantities, uniformly accelerated motion, free fall motion, projectile motion, range, and apex. The true/false section contains statements about measurement techniques, accuracy, measuring device scales, vector representations, scalar/vector examples, uniformly accelerated motion, gravity, projectile motion components, and projectile flight duration. The free response section involves calculating acceleration, time, and distance using kinematic equations for objects with constant acceleration starting from rest or falling under gravity.

NAME: _____________________________ DATE: _______________


GRADE/SECTION: ____________________________ SCORE: ______________
IDENTIFICATIONS
DIRECTIONS: Read the following statements. Identify the word/s being describes. Write your answers on the space
provided.

Error 1. It defined as the difference between the true value and the measured value. It usually
depends on the measurement technique being used.
Uncertainty 2. It quantifies the doubt that exists in any reported value of the measurement.
Accuracy 3. It indicates how close the measured value is to the true value.
____________________4. It describes the scatter or the variability of a set of measurements made.
Regression to the mean 5. It occurs when repeated measurements produce randomly different results. This is a
short-term variation of values around a mean value.
____________________6. Graphical representations indicating the range of uncertainty of a specific value or data.
Vector quantity 7. It is a physical quantity with both magnitude and direction.
Scalar quantity 8. It is a physical quantity that has magnitude but no direction.
Uniformly accelerated motion 9. It is a kind of motion along a straight line with constant acceleration, and which
entails the velocity to change at a similar rate during the entire course of the motion.
Free fall motion 10. It refers to an object’s motion under the sole influence of gravity.
11. A projectile refers to any object that has an initial velocity, but proceeds through a path called a
12. trajectory . Its motion is called 13. projectile motion .
Range 14. It refers to the projectile’s horizontal displacement.
Apex 15. It refers to the point in its trajectory when the velocity along the y-axis is equal to zero.

TRUE OR FALSE
DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze the following statements given. Write T if the given statement is true and if false,
underline the incorrect word/s and write the corresponding correct word/s for it.

1. There are several tips that can be done to eliminate or reduce the uncertainties in measurements. steps
2. Accuracy is the difference between the ‘true’ value and the measured value. closeness of agreement
3. The greatest count is the smallest division found in a measuring device. least
4. A vector can be represented by an arrow. T
5. An example of a scalar quantity is velocity. vector
6. When an object moves in a linear motion and with constant acceleration, the velocity along the x-axis
changes in equivalent intervals and by equivalent amounts. T
7. All objects on the Earth’s surface will fall with unequal and constant acceleration in the absence of air and
other forms of resistance. T
8. The acceleration due to gravity (g) on the Earth’s surface has an approximated magnitude equivalent to –9.8
m/s2. 9.8 m/s2
9. The presence of air resistance, consists of horizontal motion with constant velocity and vertical motion with
constant acceleration. T
10. The duration of a projectile’s flight refers to the amount of time it takes the object to reach the surface from
the time it has been launched. T
PROBLEM SOLVING
DIRECTIONS: Solve the following problems. Write the solutions.
1. Determine a car’s acceleration if it moved from rest to 46 meters per second in 16 seconds. Assume that the
acceleration is constant.
2. Calculate a car’s acceleration if it moved from rest to 33.13 meters per second in 10.98 seconds. Assume that
the acceleration is constant.
3. How long will it take a vehicle to cross a 71.15-m wide intersection from rest if it is heading at a constant
acceleration of 54.11 m/s2?
4. If a 25-kg block is dropped from rest, determine the distance it will have covered after 6 seconds.
