    Correct Answer
    A. Different gravitational constants
  • 5. 

    1.In a vacuum, you throw a baseball. It travels at the __________________ forever due to __________________.

    • Initial velocity, inertia

    • Gravitational constant velocity, inertia

    • Initial velocity, gravity

    • Initial acceleration, inertia

    • Initial acceleration, gravity

    Correct Answer
    A. Initial velocity, inertia
  • 6. 

    When a box rests on the floor, it is acted upon by the gravitational and the _________________ force.

    • Centrifugal

    • Acceleration

    • Normal

    • Inertia

    • Friction

    Correct Answer

    1.Which of the following is not an example of acceleration?

    • Turning right onto another street

    • Pressing the gas pedal

    • Pressing the brake pedal

    • Cruising at 60 MPH

    • Pulling the car into reverse from rest

    Correct Answer
    A. Cruising at 60 MPH
    Explanation
    Acceleration implies a change in velocity, which means a change in speed or direction. Cruising implies no such change.
