Initial acceleration, gravity

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

Centrifugal

Acceleration

Normal

Inertia

Friction

Gravity pushes down and the normal force acts upwards.

7. 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

Acceleration implies a change in velocity, which means a change in speed or direction. Cruising implies no such change.

Explanation

Acceleration implies a change in velocity, which means a change in speed or direction. Cruising implies no such change.
