H) force that acts against something falling
Multiple Choice: Choose the one best answer to the following questions. (10 points – 2 points each)
For 9-11: Hector pushes a box with 48 N of force at a constant 4.0 m/s across a floor.
9. What is the net force on the box?
a. 48 N
b. 192 W
c. 4.8 kg
d. zero
10. What is the force of friction on the box?
a. 48 N
b. 192 N
c. 12 N
d. zero
11. What type of friction is acting on the box?
a. static
b. potential
c. kinetic
d. super-duper
For 12-14: Lysa leans with 18 N of horizontal (sideways) force on a desk that weighs 100 N.
12. The static friction between the desk and the floor is up to 16 Newtons. Does the desk move?
a. yes, it weighs less
b. yes, Lysa's force is
c. no, it weighs more
d. no, the friction is less
than the friction
more than the friction
than Lysa is pushing
than Lysa's leaning
13. If the floor were carpeted and the static friction was up to 20 N, would the desk move then? Lysa's
force and the desk's weight are still the same.
a. yes, it still weighs
b. yes, the friction is
c. no, it weighs more
d. no, Lysa's force is
less than the friction
less than Lysa's leaning than Lysa is pushing
less than the friction
14. If the desk moves and Lysa stops leaning on it. What kind of friction will stop it from moving far?
a. static
b. potential
c. kinetic
d. esoteric
Short Answer: Explain clearly and fully. Use the back for more room.
(2 points)
15. Give one example of friction being good and helpful, and one example of friction being unhelpful and
wasteful. Use your book or ask around.
