1A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 s. What is its acceleration?
A.4 m/s^2
B.2 m/s^2
C.100 m/s^2
D.20 m/s^2
Explanation: a = (v - v0) / t = (20 - 0) / 5 = 4 m/s^2.
2An object in free fall (ignoring air resistance) near Earth's surface has an acceleration of approximately what value?
A.9.81 m/s^2
B.0 m/s^2
C.3.71 m/s^2
D.1 m/s^2
Explanation: Near Earth's surface, gravitational acceleration g is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, a standard constant used throughout NRW Physik Mechanik problems.
3What does Newton's second law of motion state?
A.F = m x a (net force equals mass times acceleration)
B.F = m / a
C.An object at rest always stays in motion
D.Force is independent of mass
Explanation: Newton's second law states that net force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma), describing how force causes acceleration proportional to mass.
4A net force of 20 N acts on a 4 kg object. What is its acceleration?
A.5 m/s^2
B.80 m/s^2
C.0.2 m/s^2
D.24 m/s^2
Explanation: a = F / m = 20 N / 4 kg = 5 m/s^2.
5What is the kinetic energy of a 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s?
A.9 J
B.6 J
C.18 J
D.3 J
Explanation: Kinetic energy Ekin = 0.5 x m x v^2 = 0.5 x 2 x 3^2 = 0.5 x 2 x 9 = 9 J.
6What does the law of conservation of momentum state for an isolated system (no external forces)?
A.Total momentum before an interaction equals total momentum after it
B.Momentum is always destroyed in every collision
C.Only kinetic energy is ever conserved, never momentum
D.Momentum can be created without any external force
Explanation: In an isolated system with no external net force, the total momentum before a collision or interaction equals the total momentum afterward.
7A 1000 kg car moving at 10 m/s has what momentum?
A.10,000 kg·m/s
B.100 kg·m/s
C.1,000 kg·m/s
D.10 kg·m/s
Explanation: Momentum p = m x v = 1000 kg x 10 m/s = 10,000 kg·m/s.
8What does Newton's law of universal gravitation describe?
A.The attractive force between two masses is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
B.Gravity only acts on objects with electric charge
C.Gravitational force is constant regardless of distance
D.Gravity repels all masses from each other
Explanation: Newton's law of universal gravitation states F = G(m1 m2)/r^2, meaning gravitational attraction increases with mass and decreases with the square of the separation distance.
9What is the period of a simple pendulum primarily dependent on (for small oscillations)?
A.Its length and the local gravitational acceleration g
B.Only the mass of the pendulum bob
C.Only the amplitude of the swing, regardless of length
D.The color of the pendulum bob
Explanation: For small oscillations, a simple pendulum's period T = 2π√(L/g) depends on its length L and gravitational acceleration g, not on the bob's mass.
10What is the relationship between frequency f and period T of an oscillation?
A.f = 1/T
B.f = T
C.f = T^2
D.f = 0, always
Explanation: Frequency is the reciprocal of the period: f = 1/T, where T is the time for one complete oscillation.
