Physics Test Force, 9/25/15
Test #2 covers all information since the last test: Friday, 9-11-15, through Friday, 9-25-15.
Remember that Physics builds on the skills you have already learned, so you will use all of the
information from previous tests on this test. This is a review guide…none of these questions are on
the test. You have to understand the skills necessary to answer these questions and apply those
skills to the questions on the test. Practice! Take your time.
Topics: Forces, Free Body Diagrams, Newton’s Laws, and Friction
1. Fill in the following table:
Variable
F
Concept
Units
Final Velocity

conserved, what is the total momentum of the ball and target after the collision?
13. TRUE or FALSE? A student on roller skates throws a basketball forward. The product of the
mass times the velocity of the student is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the
product of the mass times the velocity of the basketball.
14. Which falls faster a heavy or light object? with air resistance_______________________;
in a vacuum__________________
*Be sure to use the G.U.E.S.S. method for each problem. Use your equation sheet.
Don’t forget the units in your answers!
