Question 1

An object moves in a horizontal circle of radius 4.0 m at a constant speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration?

2.0 m/s² 32 m/s² 16 m/s² 64 m/s²

Correct Answer:

16 m/s²

Question 2

A ball is launched from ground level at an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Assuming g = 9.8 m/s² and ignoring air resistance, what is the initial vertical component of its velocity?

17.3 m/s 20 m/s 5.0 m/s 10 m/s

Correct Answer:

10 m/s

Question 3

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, if the distance between two point masses is doubled, how does the gravitational attraction force between them change?

It decreases to one-quarter of its original value. It decreases to one-half of its original value. It doubles. It quadruples.

Correct Answer:

It decreases to one-quarter of its original value.

Question 4

Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that the square of a planet's orbital period T is proportional to which quantity?

The square of its mean orbital radius (r²) The cube of its mean orbital radius (r³) The mean orbital radius (r) The inverse of its orbital radius (1/r)

Correct Answer:

The cube of its mean orbital radius (r³)

Question 5

What is the direction of the gravitational field strength vector at any point in space surrounding a spherical mass like the Earth?

Radially outward away from the center of the mass Tangential to the surface of the mass Radially inward toward the center of the mass Perpendicular to the line joining the observer and the mass

Correct Answer:

Radially inward toward the center of the mass
