Which one of the following statements is not possible?
An object has zero velocity and non-zero acceleration
An object travels with a northward velocity and a northward
acceleration
An object travels with a constant velocity and a constant
non-zero acceleration
An object travels with a changing velocity and a constant
acceleration
____________
In a displacement vs. time graph, a sloped (non-horizontal)
line indicates:
The object is moving with constant, non-zero, acceleration
The total displacement of the object is zero
The object is moving at a constant, non-zero, velocity
The object is at rest
This is not possible
____________
You stand on a scale in an elevator as it is moving downwards
with constant, upwards acceleration. The reading on the scale (your
“apparent weight”) is:
Less than your true weight
Greater than your true weight
Equal to your true weight
Zero

____________
A rocket, firing its engine and accelerating in outer space (no
gravity or air resistance), suddenly runs out of fuel. Which of the
following best describes its motion after burn out?
It continues to accelerate at the same rate
It continues to accelerate, but at a gradually decreasing rate,
until it reaches a constant velocity
It immediately stops accelerating, and continues moving at the
velocity it had when burn out occurred.
It immediately begins slowing down and gradually comes to
rest
Its motion would depend on its initial acceleration and its
mass
