If the acceleration of an object is zero, the objects velocity is

• Zero

• constant

• decreasing

• increasing

The difference between speed and velocity is

• velocity has direction, speed does not

• speed is always greater than velocity

• they mean the same thing

• velocity can change but speed is always constant

A large truck collides with a small car causing a lot of damage to the small car. During the collision they both experience the same amount of force. This is an example of which of Newtons Laws of Motion?

• 1st Law

• 2nd Law

• 3rd Law

• 4th Law

A rock is dropped from the top of a bridge. A second rock is thrown straight down from the same bridge. They are released at the same time. Neglecting air resistance, compare the accelerations of the two rocks.

• The first rock accelerates faster

• The second brick accelerates faster

• The two bricks accelerate at the same rate

• It is impossible to determine from the information given.
