PHYS 1441 Lab—Practice Exam (Not for a grade) Name:____________ ID:_______________ These questions are designed to test what you have learned throughout the semester in lab. Regrettably, most of the stock questions are designed for those who had in-person labs, so many of these questions have been made up, or taken from textbooks. Not to worry; the practice exam will be harder than the actual exam, so if you do well on it, you’ll be just fine for the real thing. Each topic will be given the same weight here as it will on the actual exam. For your convenience, the topics have been labeled here, but will not be labeled on the actual exam, so keep that in mind! Multiple choice—20 questions, 3 points each. Half conceptual, half analytical. 1. (Kinematics) An object moves about the x-axis. At t = 0 , the object is moving with a velocity of 3.7 meters per second. If the object accelerates backwards at -0.50 meters per second squared, find the average velocity from t = 3 to t = 4 . a. 1.4 m/s b. 1.6 m/s c. 1.8 m/s d. 2.0 m/s 2. (Newton’s first law) An object is subject to some forces. If you are free to orient the forces an any desired direction, which of the following sets makes it impossible for the object to have a zero acceleration? a. (83 N, 146 N, 208 N) b.

(Newton’s second law) A group of students were performing the Newton’s 2nd Law experiment, in which the weight, W 2 , was the applied force acting on a cart with acceleration a .

What physical quantity would the slope of the line in this graph represent? a. Initial velocity b. Force of friction c. Acceleration of the cart d. Total mass of the system 5. (Newton’s second law) A group of students performed the Newton’s 2nd Law experiment, starting with 0.80 kg of additional mass placed on a cart of an unknown mass. A hanging mass of 0.05 kg was used to apply a force to accelerate the cart. By using the addition mass from the cart, they slowly increasing the hanging mass, thus keeping the total mass
constant, and they recorded an acceleration for each trial. They found that the slope of a plotted line for W 2 vs. a is 1.840 kg. Determine the mass of the cart. a. 0.8 kg b. 1.0 kg c. 1.2 kg d. 1.4 kg 6. (Newton’s second law) During the Newton’s 2nd Law experiment, data was gathered and plotted onto a W 2 vs. acceleration graph. From the resulting linear line, the following data points were obtained: ( 0 m s 2 , 0.27 N ) and (2. 86 m s 2 , 5.9 N ). Determine the slope of the line. a. 1.95 kg b. 1.97 kg c. 1.99 kg d. 2.01 kg 7.
