What is the term for the net force directed toward the center of an object’s circular path? a. circular force c. centripetal force b. centrifugal force d. orbital force 4. The centripetal force on an object in circular motion is a. in the same direction as the tangential speed. b. in the direction opposite the tangential speed. c. in the same direction as the centripetal acceleration. d. in the direction opposite the centripetal acceleration. 5. When a car makes a sharp left turn, what causes the passengers to move toward the right side of the car? a. centripetal acceleration c. centrifugal force b. centripetal force d. inertia 6. Which of the following quantities measures the ability of a force to rotate or accelerate an object around an axis? a. axis of rotation c. tangential force b. lever arm d. torque 7. Where should a force be applied on a lever arm to produce the most torque? a. closest to the axis of rotation b. farthest from the axis of rotation c. in the middle of the lever arm d. It doesn’t matter where the force is applied. 8. Suppose a doorknob is placed at the center of a door. Compared with a door whose knob is located at the edge, what amount of force must be applied to this door to produce the torque exerted on the other door? a. one-half as much c. one-fourth as much b. two times as much d. four times as much 9. Which has more rotational inertia, a bicycle wheel or a solid disk of the same mass and diameter? a. The wheel. b. The disk. c. They both have the same rotational inertia. 10. A person's rotational inertia is least about _____. a. an axis through the person's feet b. the person's median axis c. the person's longitudinal axis d. an axis through the person's hands e. the person's transverse axis 11.

To change the mass of your body b. To be ready to grab something in case you fall c. To look good d. To change the center of gravity of your body and the load e. To change the weight of your body and the load If you try to touch your toes while standing flat against a wall, you probably will fall over. The reason this happens is that a. your center of gravity is not located directly above your support area. b. your center of gravity is outside your support area. c. both A and B When an ice skater pulls in his hands to turn faster _____. a. angular momentum must be conserved b. his moment of inertia changes c. his rotational speed changes d. all of the above Short Answer 17.

An object moving at a constant speed can experience a nonzero acceleration if the direction of the object’s motion changes. DIF: II OBJ: 7-1.1 18. ANS: Friction between the car’s tires and the track provides the centripetal force. DIF: II OBJ: 7-1.2 19. ANS: No, there is only an inward force causing a deviation from a straight-line path. The tendency to move in a straight line away from the circular path is inertia. DIF: II OBJ: 7-1.3 SHORT ANSWER 17. ANS: Acceleration depends on the change in an object’s velocity.
