Exam 1
Fall 2003
Fill in the GPSCAN Sheet:
1) Name
2) Student identification number
3) Exam number as 04
4) Sign the OPSCAN sheet
Important; This test consists of 14 multipla-choice problems. Check that you have all
of them in your copy. You are taking the red exam. Be sure your answer key is red.
Instrugtlons: For each problem, choose the one answer that is correct or most nearly
correct. Make a small mark, for your ayes only, near the letter of your choice. After you
finish and check all the multiple-choice problems, transfer your answers to the OPSCAN
sheet, with a #2 pencil. Then, until you hand in the OPSCAN sheet, turn the sheet over
and leave itface down, You may keep your copy of the exam.
The correct answers will be displayed on the course web page soon after the exam, and
you can find your score for this exam on CHIP in one or two days.
This is a closed book exam, but an equation sheet is provided. You may alse use a
numerical calculator.
Any form of cheating will result in severe penalties, which will include a score of zero for
this exam and may resuit In a grade of F fer the course ard referral to the Dean of
Students.
All wireless devices must be securely put out of sight and may not be touched during
the exam.

6) Acrate of oranges weighing 182 N rests on a flatbed truck 2.83 m from the back of
the truck. The coeificlents of friction between the crate and the bed are pg = 0.306
and Wy = 6.283. The truck drives on a straight level highway at a constant 8.72 m/s.

figure). The block with mass m, slides on a frictionless horizontal surface, while the
block with mass m2 hangs vertically (m, >

9) A spider sits on a turntable that is rotating at a constant 33.3 rpm. The acceleration
a of the spider Is
A, Greater the closer the spider is to the central axis.
B. Greater the farthar the spider Is from the central axis.
C. Nenzere and independent of the location of the spider on the turntabie.
D, Zora.
(0) Consider a car at rest We can conclude that the downward gravitational pull of
Earth on the car and the upward contact force of Earth on it are equal and opposite
because:
A. The two forces form an interaction (3" law) pair.
B. The net force on the car is zero (2™ law),
C. Neither of the above
11) Which of the fallowing situations are possible according ta Newton's laws?

non-zero ret force.
. (1 a collision between a large truck and a smail car, the force of the truck on tha
car Is larger than the farce af the car on the truck.
. When a car turns to the left, a centrifugal force in tha inertial frame is what
pushes you to the right in your seat.
. None of the above are possible.
