I don't expect anyone to really go through all this and double check everything, but If anyone notices anything that is wrong maybe brushing over it please tell me. Thanks
1. On planet Z, the standard unit of length is the foose. Ann the
Astronaut is 5.90 feet tall on earth. She lands on planet Z and is measure to be 88 foosi (plural of foose) tall. Her crew member Rachael is 94 foosi tall. How tall is Rachael in Earth measurements?
e. 6.3
2. Note the expression: y = A/x2. Which statement is most consistent
with this expression?
a. y is less than x
3. The speed of a boat is often given in knots. If a speed of 5 knots were expressed in the SI system of units, the units would be:
c. m/s
4. A ball is pushed with an initial velocity of 4.0 m/s. The ball rolls down a hill with a constant acceleration of 1.6 m/s2 . The ball reaches the bottom of the hill in 6.0 s. What is the ball's velocity at the bottom of the hill?
c. 14 m/s
5. A European sports car dealer claims that his car will accelerate at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 100 km/hr (28 m/s) in 8.00 s. What is the speed after the first 5.00 s of acceleration?
d. 17.4 m/s

then 25 cm northward, and finally 15 cm westward. What is the magnitude of Arvin's net displacement?
d. 29 cm
9. A river flows due east at 3.0 m/s. A boat crosses the river which is 300 m wide, by maintaining a constant velocity of 10 m/s due north relative to the water. If no correction is made for the current, how far downstream does the boat move by the time it reaches the far shore?
d. 90 m
10. A 2.0 kg bowling ball experiences a net force of 4.0 N. What will
be its acceleration?
b. 2.0 m/s2
11. If we know that an object is moving at a constant velocity, we may
assume:
a. The net force acting on the object is zero.
12. As a car skids with its wheels locked trying to stop on a road
covered with ice and snow, the force of friction between the icy road and the tires will usually be: (Please note that "normal" and "perpendicular" have the same meaning)
c. less than the normal force of the road times the coefficient of
kinetic friction

earth. How does the potential energy of the object at the bottom of the hole compare with its potential energy at the top of the hole.
b. The potential energy at the bottom is less.

a. 1.0 m/s2
21. An airplane is a wide sweeping "outside" loop can create zero "g"
(weightlessness) inside the aircraft cabin. What must be the radius of curvature of the flight path for an aircraft moving at 70 m/s to create a condition of "weightlessness" inside the aircraft?
c. 500 m
