Is it possible for an object to be moving when the net force is equal to zero? Yes No	If a person is hanging from a rope and she begins to pull herself up, what happens to the tension in the rope? Decreases Increases Stays the same	A man with a mass of 100.0-kg is standing on a scale that reads Newtons in an elevator. If the scale reads 1080 N, what is the acceleration of the elevator? + 2.00 m/s^2 + 1.00 m/s^2 - 2.00 m/s^2 - 1.00 m/s^2 Not enough Information	What would the scale read from the previous problem if the elevator is moving up at a constant speed? 1080 N 1000 N 1020 N 980 N 950 N	Two forces are acting on a box. One is acting North at 10.0 N, and the other is acting East at 20.0 N. Find the acceleration of the 50-kg box. .50 m/s^2 .45 m/s^2 .45 m/s^2 27 dg NoE .6 m/s^2 30 dg NoE Not enough information
How much force is needed to make a 50.0-kg crate move on a floor where the static coefficient of friction is .6? 100 pounds 54 pounds 66 pounds 75 pounds Not enough Info	How much force is needed to keep the crate from the previous problem moving at a constant speed once it starts moving? Kinetic coefficient equals .5. 50 pounds 55 pounds 60 pounds 65 pounds 70 pounds	What type of frictional force is utilized when you pump your breaks while coming to a stop in icy conditions? Kinetic Static Applied Breaking Not enough Information	Does slamming on your breaks and locking the tires bring you to a stop faster than slamming on your breaks with anti-lock breaks which keeps the tires rolling? yes no	Which frictional force actually varies with the applied force? Kinetic Static
