  5. When a net force acts on an object, its acceleration depends on the object’s a. initial speed. b. volume. c. weight. d. mass. Explanation: You could say acceleration depends on the object’s weight in most common instances, but mass is the more general answer.

  15. An object with a mass of 1 kilogram on Earth a. weighs less on the Moon. b. weighs the same on the Moon. c. weighs more on the Moon. d. weighs the same everywhere.

  16. When we say that 1 kilogram weighs 10 N, we mean that a. 1 kg is 10 N. b. it’s true at Earth’s surface. c. it’s true everywhere. d. mass and weight are one and the same.

  17. When we say that 1 kilogram weighs 10 N, we mean that a. 1 kg is 10 N. b. it’s true at Earth’s surface. c. it’s true everywhere. d. mass and weight are one and the same.

  18. When your mass increases, your weight a. may remain the same. b. also increases. c. decreases. d. transforms to greater volume.

  19. When your mass increases, your weight a. may remain the same. b. also increases. c. decreases. d. transforms to greater volume.

  20. The force of gravity acting on a 2-kg melon is a. 2 kg. b. 10 N. c. 20 N. d. more than 20 N.

  22. For a given force, acceleration and mass are a. directly proportional to each other. b. inversely proportional to each other. c. not related. d. two words for the same concept.

  23. For a given force, acceleration and mass are a. directly proportional to each other. b. inversely proportional to each other. c. not related. • two words for the same concept. This means that as the mass increases the acceleration decreases.

  24. As mass is added to a pushed object, its acceleration a. increases. b. decreases. c. remains constant. d. quickly reaches zero.

  25. As mass is added to a pushed object, its acceleration a. increases. b. decreases. c. remains constant. • quickly reaches zero. Explanation: Let the equation for Newton’s second law Fnet = M a guide your answers! More mass means less acceleration.

  26. A cart is pushed and undergoes a certain acceleration. If it were pushed with twice the force while its mass doubles, its acceleration would be a. one-quarter. b. one-half. c. the same. d. nearly but not quite double.

  27. A cart is pushed and undergoes a certain acceleration. If it were pushed with twice the force while its mass doubles, its acceleration would be a. one-quarter. b. one-half. c. the same. d. nearly but not quite double. Explanation: Let the equation for Newton’s second law, a  F/m, guide your answer. The ratios F/m and 2F/2m are the same. So acceleration is the same either way.

  35. Use Newton’s second law to answer this question: The acceleration of a vertically thrown ball at the top of its path is Explanation: This question is a toughie for most people. At the top gravity still acts, so there’s a force on it. It still has mass. So in accord with a = F/m, a cannot be 0 as is popularly and wrongly asserted. a. 0. b. 10 m/s2. c. between 0 and 10 m/s2. d. dependent on the initial speed of the ball.

  39. A lead-filled tennis ball and a regular tennis ball are dropped from the top of a tall building at the same time. Air drag does affect motion. Which reaches the ground first? Explanation: Like the falling parachutists in the text, the heavier one has a greater terminal speed and hits the ground first. a. The lead-filled one. b. The regular one. c. They both reach the ground at the same time. d. No way to say.
