momentum _____________________. - ANSWERS-is half as much
In physics, work is
___________________________________________________________________
____________. - ANSWERS-the energy transferred from one object to another via
a force acting through a distance.
Which of the following statements is correct?
,A. Potential energy is the energy of speed and kinetic energy is the energy stored
in an object.
B. Potential energy is the energy of mass and kinetic energy is the energy of
gravity.
C. Kinetic energy is the energy an object as a result of its motion, and potential
energy is the energy of position or deformation. - ANSWERS-C. Kinetic energy is
the energy of an object as a result of its motion, and potential energy is the
energy of position or deformation.

,You are pushing a file cabinet across a floor in a straight line at a constant speed.
Which of the following can you correctly conclude about the forces acting on the
file cabinet?
A, If you were to exert twice as much force on the file cabinet, it would slide
across the floor at twice its original speed.
B. The force that you are exerting on the file cabinet is greater than the force that
friction is exerting on it.
C. The force that you are exerting on the file cabinet is greater than the force of
friction with the cabinet's weight.
D. The force that you are exerting on the file cabinet is equal and opposite to the
force that friction is exerting on it. - ANSWERS-D. The force that you are exerting
on the file cabinet is equal and opposite to the force that friction is exerting on it.
Inertia is an object's _______________________________________. - ANSWERS-
tendency to remain stationary or continue moving in the same way.

A. a child sledding down a hill
B. a jug of milk standing on the top shelf in a refrigerator
C. a man biking at 20 miles per hour on a straight road
, D. a person rowing a canoe on a lake - ANSWERS-A. a child sledding down a hill
The figure below shows a pendulum. Assume that there are no frictional losses.
The ball is displaced to point A and released. As the ball moves, it passes, in order
through points B, C, D, and E, and then again through points D, C, B, and so on.
Answer the following questions.
The ball has the greatest potential energy a point ____.
The ball has the greatest kinetic energy at point _____.
The ball has the greatest total mechanical energy at point ____. - ANSWERS-A
C
B
Which has a greater thermal energy, coffee at 80°C in a cup or water at 80°C in a
swimming pool?
A. The water in the pool has a greater thermal energy, because it contains many
more molecules, and thermal energy measures the average energy of the
particles.
B. The coffee and the water in the pool have the same thermal energy, which in
both cases is 80°C.
