Part A is worth 2 points per question. Part B is worth 4 points per question: 1 point for the formula, 1 for setting it up, 1 for the number, and 1 for the correct units.\nUseful formulas\n• Speed = distance ÷ time   (s = d ÷ t)\n• Acceleration = (final velocity − initial velocity) ÷ time   (a = (v_f − v_i) ÷ t)\n• Force = mass × acceleration   (F = m × a)\n• 1 newton (N) = 1 kg·m/s²\nShow all work in Part B and always include units in your answer.\nPart A: Concepts (2 points each)\nCircle the best answer.\n1. You are riding a bus that stops suddenly, and your body lurches forward. Which law explains this?\n• A. Newton's first law (inertia)\n• B. Newton's second law (F = m × a)\n• C. Newton's third law (action–reaction)\n• D. The law of gravity\n2. Which of these is a velocity, not just a speed?\n• A. 40 km/h\n• B. 40 km/h east\n• C. 40 km\n• D. 40 seconds\n3. Which object is NOT accelerating?\n• A. A car speeding up on a freeway on-ramp\n• B. A ball slowing down as it rolls uphill\n• C. A bike going around a corner at a constant speed\n• D. A train moving at a steady 90 km/h on a straight track\n4. A rocket pushes hot exhaust gas downward, and the gas pushes the rocket upward. Which law does this show?\n• A. Newton's first law\n• B. Newton's second law\n• C. Newton's third law\n• D. The law of conservation of mass\n5. You give an empty shopping cart and a full shopping cart the same push. Which statement is true?\n• A. Both carts accelerate the same amount because the force is the same.\n• B. The empty cart accelerates more because it has less mass.\n• C. The full cart accelerates more because it has more mass.\n• D. Neither cart accelerates because the forces are balanced.\nPart B: Calculations (4 points each)\nShow the formula, your setup, and your answer with units.\n6. Speed. A cyclist rides 1,200 meters in 240 seconds. What is the cyclist's average speed?\nAnswer: ______________\n7. Travel time. A train travels at a steady speed of 80 km/h. How long will it take to travel 200 km?\nAnswer: ______________\n8. Acceleration. A skateboarder speeds up from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the skateboarder's acceleration?\nAnswer: ______________\n9. Net force. Two students push on a 5 kg box. One pushes to the right with 40 N. The other pushes to the left with 25 N. Ignore friction.\n• a. What is the net force on the box, and in which direction?\n• b. What is the box's acceleration?\nAnswer (a): ______________   Answer (b): ______________\n10. Force. A 1,500 kg car accelerates at 2 m/s². How much net force is acting on the car?\nAnswer: ______________\nAnswer Key (teacher copy — remove before printing for students)\nPart A\n#\nAnswer\nWhy\n1\nA\nYour body keeps moving forward when the bus stops: an object in motion stays in motion unless a force acts on it (inertia).\n2\nB\nVelocity is speed plus a direction. Only \"40 km/h east\" gives both.\n3\nD\nAcceleration is any change in speed or direction. A steady speed in a straight line has neither. Turning (C) counts as accelerating.\n4\nC\nForces come in equal and opposite pairs: gas pushed down, rocket pushed up.\n5\nB\nBy F = m × a, the same force on a smaller mass gives a larger acceleration.\nPart B\n6. Average speed = 5 m/s\n• Formula: s = d ÷ t\n• Setup: s = 1,200 m ÷ 240 s\n• Answer: s = 5 m/s\n7. Time = 2.5 h\n• Formula: s = d ÷ t, rearranged to t = d ÷ s\n• Setup: t = 200 km ÷ 80 km/h (the km cancel, leaving hours)\n• Answer: t = 2.5 h (2 hours 30 minutes)\n8. Acceleration = 2 m/s²\n• Formula: a = (v_f − v_i) ÷ t\n• Setup: a = (8 m/s − 2 m/s) ÷ 3 s = 6 m/s ÷ 3 s\n• Answer: a = 2 m/s²\n9. (a) Net force = 15 N to the right; (b) acceleration = 3 m/s² to the right\n• (a) Forces in opposite directions subtract: 40 N − 25 N = 15 N to the right (the direction of the larger force). Students lose the direction point if it is missing.\n• (b) Formula: F = m × a, rearranged to a = F ÷ m\n• Setup: a = 15 N ÷ 5 kg = 15 kg·m/s² ÷ 5 kg\n• Answer: a = 3 m/s² to the right\n10. Net force = 3,000 N\n• Formula: F = m × a\n• Setup: F = 1,500 kg × 2 m/s² = 3,000 kg·m/s²\n• Answer: F = 3,000 N (since 1 N = 1 kg·m/s²)\nCommon mistakes to watch for: dividing time by distance in #6, multiplying instead of dividing in #7, using 8 m/s alone instead of the change in velocity in #8, and adding the forces (65 N) instead of subtracting in #9.\n", "capture_note": "Claude's chat reply, then the Claude Docs document text as copied (tables copy as one cell per line; document links copy as plain text)"}
