What statement of Newton's 2nd Law is NOT true
- A.
Acceleration is proportional to Force
- B.
Acceleration is proportional to mass
- C.
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass
Correct Answer
B. Acceleration is proportional to massExplanation
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that when the force acting on an object increases, its acceleration also increases, and when the mass of the object increases, its acceleration decreases. Therefore, the statement "acceleration is proportional to mass" is not true, as it contradicts Newton's second law.Rate this question:

What is momentum?
- A.
The tendency of a body to keep moving
- B.
The product of mass and velocity i.e. mxv
- C.
The resistance something has to being stopped.
- D.
The ability of something to spin around
Correct Answer
B. The product of mass and velocity i.e. mxvExplanation
Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and velocity. It is a measure of how difficult it is to stop an object or change its direction. The greater the mass or velocity of an object, the greater its momentum. This concept is important in physics and helps explain the behavior of moving objects.Rate this question:

What is impulse as (far as physics is concerned)
- A.
Product of time and force
- B.
Product of force and distance
- C.
Product of time and energy
- D.
Product of momentum and time
- E.
When you feel you have the urge to react to something
Correct Answer
A. Product of time and forceExplanation
Impulse in physics is defined as the product of time and force. This means that when a force is applied to an object for a certain amount of time, the impulse experienced by the object is equal to the force multiplied by the time period over which the force is applied. Impulse is a vector quantity and is directly related to the change in momentum of an object. It can be calculated using the equation Impulse = Force × Time.Rate this question:

change of momentum is also known as
- A.
Acceleration
- B.
Force
- C.
Impulse
- D.
Work done
- E.
Unbalanced force
Correct Answer
C. ImpulseExplanation
Impulse is the correct answer because it refers to the change in momentum of an object. When a force is applied to an object for a certain amount of time, it causes a change in the object's momentum. This change in momentum is known as impulse. Impulse is equal to the force applied multiplied by the time it acts on the object. Therefore, impulse is the correct term to describe the change of momentum.Rate this question:

What is the significance of the area of a force/time graph
- A.
Distance moved
- B.
Total force
- C.
Change of momentum
- D.
Change of velocity
- E.
Acceleration
Correct Answer
C. Change of momentumExplanation
The area of a force/time graph represents the impulse applied to an object, which is equal to the change in momentum. Impulse is the product of force and time, and it causes a change in momentum. Therefore, the significance of the area of a force/time graph is that it quantifies the change of momentum experienced by an object.Rate this question:

Why does a car have crumple zones?
- A.
To reduce the speed as soon as possible
- B.
To slow down the passenger as soon as possible
- C.
To increase the time taken for a collision
- D.
To reduce the time taken for a collision
- E.
It looks good in films
- F.
Car manufacturers do this so you have to buy a new car if you wrap it around a lamp post.
Correct Answer
C. To increase the time taken for a collisionExplanation
Crumple zones in a car are designed to increase the time taken for a collision. By providing areas of the car that can deform and absorb energy during a crash, the impact forces are spread out over a longer period of time. This helps to reduce the severity of the collision and minimize the potential injuries to the passengers.Rate this question:
