In the absence of air resistance, what type of energy does a ball thrown upwards primarily convert its initial kinetic energy into?
Nuclear energy
Gravitational potential energy
Electrical energy
Thermal energy
How would tripling both masses affect between them while maintaining same coefficient kinetic friction?
Frictional force triples
It halves
It reduces to a third
It has no change
In a frictionless environment, how must one adjust net external force to maintain constant velocity for an object whose mass has been doubled?
No adjustment is needed as velocity will remain constant without any external forces applied.
Halve net external force because there is more inertia resistance due to additional mass.
Double net external force to compensate for increased inertia resistance due to added mass.
Reduce net external force slightly below double because some energy goes into overcoming inertia resistance with extra mass present now too.
A 10 kg mass is falling with air resistance. Calculate the force from air resistance once the object reaches terminal velocity.

49 N downwards
0 N downwards

What change occurs in an object when a balanced set of forces acts upon it?
The object continues moving at a constant velocity or remains at rest.
The object immediately comes to rest regardless of previous motion.
There is uniform acceleration in the direction of applied forces.
There will be increasing acceleration in the opposite direction of applied forces
If you increase only the mass of an orbiting satellite while keeping its orbital radius constant around Earth, how will this affect its acceleration due to gravity?
It decreases since heavier objects resist changes in motion more than lighter ones.
It doubles since doubling the mass doubles the acceleration in F=ma relationship.
It increases because more massive objects have higher accelerations for given forces.
It will not change because acceleration due to gravity depends on radius but not mass.
How does increasing the net external force on an object affect its motion when friction is negligible?
There is no effect unless gravity acts on it as well.
It causes uniform circular motion around a fixed point.
It increases only the speed of the object without changing direction.
It increases the object's velocity at an increasing rate.

If all the forces acting on an object are balanced so that the net force is zero, what must be true?
None of these must be true.
The object's direction of motion can change, but not its speed.
The object is not moving.
The object is speeding up.
What does Newton's Second Law state about the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?
Mass equals force divided by acceleration.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Acceleration equals force divided by mass.
Force is inversely proportional to the product of mass and acceleration.
If you double the net force on an object while its mass remains constant, what happens to its acceleration?
It quadruples.
It doubles.
It remains the same.
It halves.
