Answer
-
3.0 s
-
5.0 s
-
7.0 s
-
9.0 s
-
11.0 s

Question 3
Question
A free-body diagram includes vectors representing the individual forces acting on an object. Which of these quantities should NOT appear on a free-body diagram?
Answer
-
tension of a rope
-
Mass times acceleration
-
Kinetic Friction

Weight
Question 4
Question
An object rolls along level ground to the right at constant speed. Must there be any forces pushing this object to the right?
Answer
-
Yes: the only forces that act must be to the right
-
Yes: but there could also be a friction force acting to the left
-
No: No forces can act to the right
-
No: While there can be forces acting, no force MUST act
-
The answer depends on the speed of the object
Question 5
Question
A satellite orbits the moon in a circle of radius R. If the satellite must double its speed but maintain a circular orbit, what must the new radius of its orbit be?
Answer
-
2 R
-
4 R
-
1/2 R
-
1/4 R
-
R
Question 6
Question
A strong hurricane may include 50 m/s winds. Consider a building in such a hurricane. If the air inside the building is kept at standard atmospheric pressure, how will the outside air pressure compare to the inside air pressure?
Answer
-
Outside pressure will be the same
-
Outside pressure will be about 2% greater
-
Outside pressure will be about 2% lower
-
Outside pressure will be about twice inside pressure
-
Outside pressure will be about half inside pressure
Question 7
Question
At room temperature, the rms speed of nitrogen molecules is about 500 m/s. By what factor must the absolute temperature T of the Earth change for the rms speed of nitrogen to reach escape velocity, 11 km/s?
Answer
-
T must decrease by a factor of 50
-
T must increase by a factor of 22
-
T must increase by a factor of 50
-
T must increase by a factor of 200
-
T must increase by a factor of 500

-
out of the page
-
down
-
up
-

Answer
-
The frequency is 5 Hz
-
The wavelength is 5 m

Question 11
Question
The state of a gas in a cylinder is represented by the PV diagram shown. The gas can be taken through either the cycle ABCA, or the reverse cycle ACBA. Which of the following statements about the work done on or by the gas is correct?
Answer
-
In both cases, the same amount of net work is done by the gas
-
In both cases, the same amount of net work is done on the gas
-
In cycle ABCA net work is done on the gas; in cycle ACBA the same amount of net work is done by the gas
-
In cycle ABCA net work is done by the gas; in cycle ACBA the same amount of net work is done on the gas
-
In both cycles net work is done by the gs, but more net work is done by the gas in ACBA than in ABCA
