TEST I. Multiple Choice. Write the UPPERCASE letter of your answer (A,B,C or D), lowercase letters (a,b,c or d) are
considered wrong.
_____1) A body of mass m slides a distance d along a horizontal surface. How much work is done by gravity?
a) mgd b) zero c) –mgd d) One cannot tell from the given information.
_____2) A body moves with decreasing speed. Which of the following statements is true?
a) The net work done on the body is positive, and the kinetic energy is decreasing.
b) The net work done on the body is zero, and the kinetic energy is decreasing.
c) The net work done on the body is negative, and the kinetic energy is increasing.
d) The net work done on the body is negative, and the kinetic energy is decreasing.
_____3) Power P is required to do work W in time interval t. What power is required to do work 3W in time interval
5t? a) 3P b) 5P c) 5P/3 d) 3P/5

the car in a distance of 70.0 m. a) How much work is done in bringing the car to a halt? b) Is the work done or by the
car? (20 points)
2. A 35 kg child runs with a speed of 4.5 m/s and “belly flops” onto a 7.0 kg snow sled. What is the speed of the sled
and child immediately after the child comes to rest on the sled? Assume that no friction acts between the sled
runners and the snow. (10 points)
