Question
1. If two forces of 20 N towards north and 12 N towards south are acting on an object. The resultant force
will be
(a) 8 N toward South (b) 32 N toward South (c) 20 N toward North (d) 8 N toward North
2.
A rocket moves through empty space in a straight line with constant speed. It is far from the
gravitational effect of any star or planet. Under these conditions, the net force that must be applied
to the rocket in order to sustain its motion is
(a) equal to its weight (b) equal to its mass (c) depend on how fast it is moving
(d) zero
3. Two identical (equal) charges, 2.0 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other. The value of
either charge is:
(a) 1.8x10°C
(b) 4.22x10-5C
(c) 1.9x10°C
(d) 3.8x10°C
