Q1: A person uses a screwdriver to turn a screw and insert it into a piece of wood. The person applies a force of 20 newtons to the screwdriver and turns the handle of the screwdriver a total distance of 0.5 meter. How would these numbers be different if the person inserted a nail with a hammer instead of the screw with the screwdriver?
A: The force applied would be the same, but the distance would be shorter.
B: The force applied would be greater, but the distance would be shorter.
C: The force applied would be less, but the distance would be greater.
D: The force applied would be the same, but the distance would be greater.
------------------------------------
Q2: What are people trying to increase when using simple machines?
A: applied mechanical force
B: the distance over which a force is applied
C: the energy needed to complete a task
D: mechanical advantage
------------------------------------
Q3: What do a Class 1 lever and a Class 2 lever have in common?
Both levers place the fulcrum in between the applied force and the object being lifted.
A:Both levers place the fulcrum in between the applied force and the object being lifted.
B:Both levers have an output force in the same direction as the input force.
C:Both levers would lift an object on the same side of the fulcrum as the applied force.
D: Both levers result in a larger output force from a smaller input force.
------------------------------------
What makes this lever effective?

A: The rock has more mass than the man.

B: The man has more mass than the rock.

C: The man is farther from the fulcrum than the rock is.

D: The man is closer to the fulcrum than the rock is.

A single billiard ball, traveling at 20 m/s, strikes a cluster of 15 balls on a billiard table. What can be said about the balls on the table after the collision?

None of the balls will have a velocity greater than 20 m/s.

The kinetic energy will be divided equally among the 15 balls.

Each ball will have a velocity equal to 20 m/s.

The kinetic energy of the 15 balls will be greater than the kinetic energy of one ball.
