Worked practice questions

A bus brakes hard and the standing passengers lurch forward. The property of matter behind that lurch is:

  1. Inertia
  2. Impulse
  3. Induction
  4. Insulation
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Inertia

1. The passengers were moving with the bus before the brakes bit. 2. Nothing pushed them forward, so they simply carried on as they were. 3. That resistance to any change of state is inertia. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 5, Laws of Motion._

A textbook defines that property in two words: resistance to:

  1. Weight
  2. Change
  3. Water
  4. Wear
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Change

1. A body at rest will not start moving on its own. 2. A body already moving will not stop or turn on its own either. 3. Both cases are the same idea: resistance to change. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 5, Laws of Motion._

Rolling balls down inclined planes to work out how motion really behaves was the method of:

  1. Galileo
  2. Kepler
  3. Aristotle
  4. Ptolemy
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Galileo

1. He needed to slow motion down enough to measure it. 2. An inclined plane does exactly that, diluting gravity. 3. That experimenter was Galileo, and the law of inertia was inferred from his work. _Source: syllabus Physics Part I, Chapter 5, Laws of Motion._
