What Will AppletQuiz Do?
\TF A T
When an object falling through the air reaches its terminal
 velocity, its {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=BOLD acceleration}} will be
 0 m/s{$EXP 2}.
\HINT
Terminal velocity is a {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC constant}} 
velocity.
 
Acceleration is the {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC rate of change}} of velocity.
\WHY
Acceleration measures the {$STYLE=BOLD {$COLOR=RED 
{$STYLE=ITALIC rate of change}}} of an object's velocity.
 
When an object is moving at terminal velocity its velocity is 
{$STYLE=BOLD {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC not changing}}} .

Therefore, its acceleration is 0 m/s/s.
\FF A 0
When an object falling through the air reaches its terminal 
velocity, its {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=BOLD acceleration}} will be 
____ m/s{$EXP 2}.
\HINT
Terminal velocity is a {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC constant}} 
velocity.
 
Acceleration is the {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC rate of change}}
 of velocity.
\WHY
Acceleration measures the {$STYLE=BOLD {$COLOR=RED 
{$STYLE=ITALIC rate of change}}} of an object's velocity.
 
When an object is moving at terminal velocity its velocity is 
{$STYLE=BOLD {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC not changing}}} .

Therefore, its acceleration is 0 m/s/s.
\MC A A B 2
When an object falling through the air reaches its terminal 
velocity, its {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=BOLD acceleration}} will be 
about:
A. 0 m/s/s
B. 2 m/s/s
C. 10 m/s/s
D. It depends on the object's weight.
E. It depends on the object's mass.
\HINT
Terminal velocity is a {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC constant}} 
velocity.
 
Acceleration is the {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC rate of change}}
 of velocity.
\WHY
Acceleration measures the {$STYLE=BOLD {$COLOR=RED 
{$STYLE=ITALIC rate of change}}} of an object's velocity.
 
When an object is moving at terminal velocity its velocity is 
{$STYLE=BOLD {$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=ITALIC not changing}}} .

Therefore, its acceleration is 0 m/s/s.
\FF
In 1830, the early American locomotive named __________ lost a 
race with a horse.
\A
Tom Thumb
\MC A A B A
A line from the novel {$STYLE=ITALIC My Antonia}, by Willa 
Cather is: 
 
{$FONT=COURIER {$COLOR=RED Her rapid footsteps shook her own 
floors, and she routed {$STYLE=BOLD lassitude} and 
indifference wherever she came.}}
 
{$COLOR=RED {$STYLE=BOLD Lassitude}} could best be defined as: 
A. a condition of weariness
B. antagonism
C. ability to evade responsibility
D. resistance
\HINT
Try to figure out the meaning of {$STYLE=BOLD lassitude} from 
its context in the sentence. Notice that it is paired with 
"indifference".
\WHY
{$STYLE=BOLD lassitude}: (noun) A state of listless weakness 
or exhaustion. (from the Latin {$STYLE=ITALIC lassus}, meaning
 tired or weary.

English Language}, Dell Publishing Co., 1980]

Kommen sie bitte an:
A. der tafel.
B. die tafel.
C. das tafel.
D. dat tafel.
E. tafel.

{$img="Images/menOfThedocks1912.GIF" align=center}
The painting "Men of the Docks" (1912) was painted by the 
famous American artist Winslow Homer.
\HINT
The artist who painted "Men of the Docks" was a prominent 
member of the so-called "Ashcan School" which flourished in 
and around New York City at the turn of the 20th century. The 
Ashcan School got its name for its members' penchant for 
painting scenes of everyday urban life.
\WHY
George Bellows painted "Men of the Docks" in 1912.
\MC A C
According to Gauss, the number {$IMG=Images/Gauss1.GIF 
align=middle} is an estimate of:
A. the percent of people who will live more than x years.
B. the time it takes the Sun to give off x Joules of energy.
C. the number of primes less than x.
D. the age of the Universe.
E. the number of factors of x.
\MC A B B 1
Name the compound CH{$SUB 2}CICH(CH{$SUB 2}CH{$SUB 3})CHCH
{$SUB 2}.
A. chloro-4-methyl-pentene
B. 1-chloro-2-ethyl-3-butene
C. 4-chloro-3-ethyl-1-butene
D. 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-pentene
E. none of these
\FF A 18.203
On {$STYLE=ITALIC Star Trek}, the warp drive of the Starship 
Enterprise was rated at 1.8203 x10{$EXP 10} horsepower. This 
equals _______ billion horsepower.
\HINT
1 billion = 1 000 000 000 = 1.0 x 10{$EXP 9}
\WHY
1.8203 x 10{$EXP 10} hp = 1.8203 x 10 x 10{$EXP 9} hp
= 1.8203 x 10 billion hp
= 18.203 billion hp
\FF
{$A=rni(1,9)}{$B=rni(1,9)}How much is {$SIZE=18 {$A} + {$B}}?
\A
{$A + B}
\FF
{$A=rni(2,8)}{$m=10*rni(1,9)}What net force (in Newtons) will 
be required to accelerate a mass of {$m} kg at {$a} m/s
{$exp 2}?
\A
{$m*a}
\HINT URL=http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/PhyNet/
Mechanics/Newton2/Newton2.html#TheLaw
\WHY
Newton's Second Law: 
F{$sub net} = ma = ({$m} kg)({$a} m/s{$exp 2}) = {$m*a} 
Newtons
