PHYSICS 165 MODULE 10 ACTUAL EXAM
PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⩥ A moving van with a stone lightly glued to the midpoint of its ceiling
smoothly moves at constant velocity. When the glue gives way, the stone
falls and hits the floor. Answer: exactly below the midpoint of the
ceiling.
⩥ A ball rests in the middle of a cart. When you quickly jerk the cart
forward, the ball. Answer: hits the back of the cart
⩥ A space probe in remote outer space continues moving. Answer: even
though no force acts on it
⩥ How many forces act on an upwardly tossed coin when it gets to the
top of its path?. Answer: one; the force due to gravity
⩥ You drive your car along the highway at a constant 60 km/h and apply
the brakes until the car slows to 40 km/h. If at that moment you suddenly
release the brakes, the car tends to. Answer: continue moving at 40
km/h.
, ⩥ A 10-kg block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a horizontal
force of 30 N against a friction force of 10 N. The acceleration of the
block is. Answer: 2 m/s2.
⩥ A 10-kg block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a horizontal
force of 20 N against a friction force of 10 N. The acceleration of the
block is. Answer: 1 m/s2.
⩥ A block is dragged at constant velocity across a level surface by a
force of 6 N. What is the force of friction between the block and the
surface?. Answer: 6 N
⩥ Lillian pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant force of 30 N. What is
the wagon's acceleration?. Answer: 3.0 m/s2
⩥ A heavy object and a light object in a vacuum are dropped at the same
time from rest. The heavier object reaches the ground. Answer: at the
same time as the lighter object.
⩥ Which object has zero acceleration?. Answer: all of the above
⩥ A 10-N block and a 1-N block lie on a horizontal frictionless table. To
push them with equal acceleration, we would have to push with. Answer:
10 times as much force on the heavier block.
