|---|---|
| An object rests on an inclined surface. If the inclination of the surface is made steeper, what does the normal force on the object do? | Decreases. |
| You ride on an elevator that is moving upward with constant speed while standing on a bathroom scale. The reading on the scale is | Equal to your true weight. |
| A packing crate slides down an inclined ramp at constant velocity. Thus, we can deduce that | A frictional force is acting on it |
| In the figure shown, the block of mass, m, is at rest on an inclined plane that makes an angle with the horizontal. The force of static friction, f, must be such that | f>mgsin |
| When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal velocity. This means that | The force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the parachutist |
| The acceleration of gravity can vary locally on the Earth's surface because of the presence of rocks of difference densities | True |
