[question1]
type:2
caption:Which one of these statements about friction is false?<p>
correct:\
The friction force acts in the same direction as the force producing \
motion.
wrong1:\
The friction force does not depend on the area of the surfaces in \
contact.
wrong2:Friction forces are reduced by the use of lubricants.
wrong3:Friction opposes motion.
feedback:\
The false statement says that the force of friction acts in the same \
direction as the force producing motion. In fact, the force of \
friction always acts in the opposite direction to the force producing \
motion.<p>
[question2]
type:1
image:8g9
caption:\
The block shown is stationary on a rough surface. It is being pushed \
with a force, <I>F</I>. Which of the following descriptions of the \
friction force between the block and the surface is correct?<p>
correct:\
The friction force is equal to <I>F</I> and acts in the opposite \
direction.
wrong1:\
The friction force is equal to <I>F</I> and acts in the same \
direction.
wrong2:\
The friction force is less than <I>F</I> and acts in the same \
direction.
wrong3:\
The friction force is greater than <I>F</I> and acts in the opposite \
direction.
feedback:\
The block is stationary. This means that the force, <I>F</I>, must be \
exactly balanced by a friction force acting in the opposite \
direction.<p>
[question3]
type:3
caption:\
The diagram show four identical blocks resting on identical surfaces, \
but tilted at different angles. All four blocks are stationary. On \
which block is the force of friction greatest?<p>
correct:8g10d
wrong1:8g10a
wrong2:8g10b
wrong3:8g10c
feedback:\
The force of friction acts up the slope, opposing that part of the \
block's weight which tries to make it slide downwards. Therefore, the \
frictional force is greatest on the block on the steepest slope.<p>
[question4]
type:1
image:8g11
caption:\
The diagram shows a rubber brake block being pushed onto a spinning \
wheel by a force, <I>P</I>. Which one of the following suggestions \
will increase the braking force produced by friction between the block \
and the wheel?<p>
correct:Increasing <I>P</I>.
wrong1:Increasing the surface area of the brake block.
wrong2:Squirting a lubricant onto the wheel's surface.
wrong3:Speeding up the wheel.
feedback:\
Increasing <I>P</I> will push the brake block harder onto the wheel \
surface and increase the contact force. This will increase the \
friction force.<p>
[question5]
type:1

caption:\
This diagram shows a man pushing a packing case up a ramp. Which arrow \
shows the direction of the friction force on the case?<p>
correct:a
wrong1:b
wrong2:c
wrong3:d
feedback:Friction opposes motion.<p>
[question6]
type:1
image:8g13
caption:\
This diagram shows a sled sliding down a slope. Which arrow shows the \
direction of the friction force on the sled?<p>
correct:b
wrong1:a
wrong2:c
wrong3:d
feedback:Friction opposes motion.<p>
[question7]
type:1
image:8g14
caption:\
This diagram shows a gymnast climbing a rope. Which arrow shows the \
direction of the friction force on the gymnast's hands?<p>
correct:a
wrong1:b
wrong2:c
wrong3:d
feedback:\
Friction opposes motion. Without friction, the gymnast's hands would \
slide down the rope. The upward friction force of the rope on the \
gymnast's hands prevents them from slipping.<p>
[question8]
type:1
image:8g15
caption:\
This diagram shows a climber sliding down a rope. Which arrow shows \
the direction of the friction force on the climber's hands?<p>
correct:A
wrong1:D
wrong2:B
wrong3:C
feedback:Friction opposes motion.<p>
[question9]
type:3
caption:\
The diagram shows four identical boxes resting on the same surface. \
There are no horizontal forces on box A. Boxes B and C are both \
stationary, but box C is being pushed with twice the force on box B, \
and is just on the verge of sliding. Box D is already sliding across \
the surface. On which box is the friction force from the floor \
greatest?<p>
correct:8g16c
wrong1:8g16a
wrong2:8g16b
wrong3:8g16d
feedback:\
Box C is just on the verge of slipping. This means that the static \
frictional force on the box is at a maximum. Box D is already sliding: \
dynamic friction is usually a little less than the maximum static \
friction, so the correct answer is C.<p>
[question10]
type:3
caption:\
The diagram shows four identical boxes resting on the same surface. \
There are no horizontal forces on box A. Boxes B and C are both \
stationary, but box C is being pushed with twice the force on box B, \
and is just on the verge of sliding. Box D is already sliding across \
the surface. On which box is the friction force from the floor \
least?<p>
correct:8g16a
wrong1:8g16b
wrong2:8g16c
wrong3:8g16d
feedback:\
There are no horizontal forces on box A tending to produce motion. \
Because there are no motion-producing forces to oppose, the friction \
on block A is zero.<p>
[question11]
type:2
caption:\
Which one of the following statements about air resistance is \
false?<p>
correct:\
Air resistance does not depend on the surface area of the moving \
object.
wrong1:Air resistance acts in the opposite direction to the motion.
wrong2:Air resistance increases with speed.
wrong3:Air resistance depends on the shape of the moving object.
feedback:\
The false statement says that air resistance does not depend on \
surface area. In fact, the larger the surface area of an object, the \
greater is the air resistance acting upon it.<p>
[question12]
type:1
image:8g17
caption:\
Which arrow shows the direction of the water resistance on the sailing \
boat shown in the diagram?<p>
correct:d
wrong1:a
wrong2:b
wrong3:c
feedback:\
Water resistance or drag always acts in the opposite direction to the \
motion of an object.<p>
[question13]
type:1
image:8g18
caption:\
Which arrow shows the direction of the air resistance on the cyclist \
in the diagram?<p>
correct:b
wrong1:a
wrong2:c
wrong3:d
feedback:\
Air resistance or drag always acts in the opposite direction to the \
motion of an object.<p>
[question14]
type:3
caption:\
A stone is released at the surface of a deep lake. Which graph shows \
how its velocity changes with time as it sinks to the bottom?<p>
correct:8g19b
wrong1:8g19a
wrong2:8g19c
wrong3:8g19d
feedback:\
The stone is accelerated by the force of gravity. As the stone's speed \
increases, the water resistance also increases, so the stone's speed \
increases less rapidly. Eventually, the water resistance will balance \
the stone's weight and the stone will then fall at a constant terminal \
velocity.<p>
[question15]
type:1
image:8g20
caption:\
This graph shows the velocity against time for a package dropped from \
an aircraft into the sea. At which point on the graph does the package \
strike the water's surface?<p>
correct:A
wrong1:B
wrong2:C
wrong3:D
feedback:\
The falling package will accelerate until its weight is balanced by \
the air resistance acting upon it. The package will then fall at its \
terminal velocity. When it hits the water, its speed will start to \
decrease rapidly. This occurs at point A on the graph.<p>
[question16]
type:1
image:8g20
caption:\
This graph shows the velocity against time for a package dropped from \
an aircraft into the sea. At which point on the graph is the object at \
its greatest depth below the water's surface?<p>
correct:B
wrong1:A
wrong2:C
wrong3:D
feedback:\
The graph shows that the package eventually rises back to the water's \
surface and floats. After it enters the water, however, it will travel \
downwards until the water resistance has reduced its velocity to zero. \
Then it will start to rise again. The package is at its deepest \
position when its velocity is zero. This is point B on the graph.<p>
[question17]
type:1
image:8g21
caption:\
This graph shows how the air resistance varies with speed for a \
falling object. The object weighs 200 N. What is its terminal \
velocity?<p>
correct:50 m/s
wrong1:200 m/s
wrong2:100 m/s
wrong3:20 m/s
feedback:\
When the object reaches its terminal velocity, its weight (200 N) is \
exactly balanced by the force of air resistance. From the graph, we \
can see that the air resistance is 200 N when the object is travelling \
at 50 m/s.<p>
[question18]
type:3
caption:\
Which of the four balls shown will have the lowest terminal velocity \
as it falls through the air?<p>
correct:8g22b
wrong1:8g22a
wrong2:8g22c
wrong3:8g22d
feedback:\
Air resistance increases with surface area and speed. Terminal \
velocity is reached when the weight of an object is exactly balanced \
by the air resistance upon it. The object with the lowest terminal \
velocity will have the greatest surface area and the smallest \
weight.<p>
[question19]
type:3
caption:\
Which of the four balls shown will have the highest terminal velocity \
as it falls through the air?<p>
correct:8g22c
wrong1:8g22a
wrong2:8g22b
wrong3:8g22d
feedback:\
Air resistance increases with surface area and speed. Terminal \
velocity is reached when the weight of an object is exactly balanced \
by the air resistance upon it. The object with the highest terminal \
velocity will have the smallest surface area and the greatest \
weight.<p>
[question20]
type:1
image:8g23
caption:\
This graph shows the vertical velocity against time for a free-fall \
parachutist. How many seconds after jumping does the parachutist open \
the parachute?<p>
correct:50 s
wrong1:20 s
wrong2:30 s
wrong3:60 s
feedback:\
The parachutist will accelerate vertically until reaching terminal \
velocity. When the parachute opens, air resistance increases, \
decreasing his terminal velocity. The parachutist's speed suddenly \
falls 50 s after jumping, showing that this is the point at which the \
parachute opens. A few seconds later,the parachutist has slowed to the \
new, lower terminal velocity.<p>
