SAMPLE HOUR TEST for  GSP 1010 

	NOTE: THIS SAMPLE TEST IS ABOUT 1/2 AS LONG AS AN AVERAGE LENGTH HOUR 
	TEST SO YOU SHOULD FINISH IT IN 25 MINUTES. 

	INSTRUCTIONS: 
	This is a 50 minute test, answer all questions to obtain full credit. You may 
	use the equation sheet handed out in class. First, fill out the Answer Sheet 
	with your name and student number. Fill in the appropriate letters and numbers 
	with a number two pencil. 

	There may be discussion, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, True-False and 
	Multiple Choice Problems on this test To answer a discussion question, read the
	question and then write the answer in complete sentences. The credit for a 
	discussion question or problem is determined by the number range given. For
	example: 3- 7, means that this question is equivalent to five multiple choice 
	questions. Choose as an answer, the statement that most appropriately answers 
	the multiple choice question and place it on the answer sheet. Select the one 
	correct answer for each of the Fill in the Blank Questions and place it on the 
	answer sheet. You may answer a multiple choice problem in two ways, first: the 
	ALL or NOTHING METHOD read the question, work it out on scratch paper and then 
	choose the most correct answer. Second: the ALL or PARTIAL CREDIT METHOD, read 
	the question and work it out placing the Givens, Unknown, Relationship, Units, 
	Calculation and final answer in the space provided near the symbols G,U,R,U,C & A.
  	In the latter way, if you have selected the wrong answer, I will hand grade the
 	problem and give you partial credit, this will be: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, or 3/4 
	of the problem's credit. 

          I will answer questions about the test, just raise your hand. You may
	now begin the test. 

	1. The property of an object at rest to remain at rest is known as 
   	a) inertness, b) inertia, c) resistance, d) sluggishness, e) dead-weight. 

	2. If an object moves at constant velocity, we can conclude that 
   	a) the object has no inertia, b) there are no forces acting upon it, c) there
 	must be at least two forces acting upon it, d) there is no unbalanced force 
	acting on the object, e) the object has no momentum. 

	3. If a body is acted on by a force of 12 N and doesn't accelerate, we have to 
	assume 
	a)  nothing, that's the way it should happen, b) it's inertia is too large for 
	the force, c) that the net force acting on the body is zero, d) the law of 
	inertia only holds for large forces, e) there can be a net force without an 
	acceleration. 

	4. The value of the acceleration of gravity on the planet Mars is 40% of what 
	it is on earth. If a child has a mass of 30 kg of earth, what would be the 
	child's mass on Mars ?
	a) 30 kg,  b) 12 kg,  c) 120 kg,  d) 117 kg,  e) 75 kg.
