2) Which expression is FALSE concerning the vectors shown in the sketch? Note: In the answers below, Bold text
indicates a vector and Italics text indicates a scalar.
A. C = A + B
B. C + A = –B
C. A + B + C = 0
D. C < A + B E. A2 + B2 = C2 3) Which of the following displacement vectors (if any) are equal? (if there are two correct answers, mark them on your Scantron) 4) A planet orbiting the Sun exhibits constant acceleration because its ________________ is continuously changing. A. Speed B. Length of year C. Rotation D. Distance E. Direction of motion 5) To determine the speed of an object, what measurements must you make? A. distance and direction B. distance and mass C. time, distance, and volume D. distance and time 2 6) In the absence of air resistance, which of these objects will fall at the fastest rate when dropped? A. the ball with a mass of 75 kg B. the ball with a mass of 25 kg C. the ball with a mass of 10 kg D. They all fall at the same rate. 7) You create a small rubber ball and then make three other balls of the same diameter from lead, foam, and wood. Which ball has the greatest inertia? A. the rubber ball B. the lead ball C. the foam ball D. the wood ball 8) Equilibrium occurs when …? There may be more than one correct answer. A. all the forces acting on an object are balanced. B. the sum of the +x forces on an object equals the sum of the –x forces. C. the net force on the object is zero. D. the sum of the upward forces equals the sum of the downward forces. E. all of the above 9) The measure of the amount of inertia something has is called …? A. Mass B. Newton’s First Law C. Weight D.

The Hot Wheels toy car B. The 18-wheeler semi-truck C. Both will hit the ground at the same time D. There is no gravity on the moon, so the two objects will not fall. E.
