True or False? The horizontal component of a projectile's velocity is independent of the vertical component
Answer TRUE
After a rock that is thrown straight up reaches the top of its path and is starting to fall back down, its acceleration is (neglecting air resistance) __?___
Answer • 10 m/s2 which is gravity (pulling downward)
A plane flying north at 50 km/h experiences a wind 10 km/h south. What is the magnitude and direction of the plane?
Answer • This is a headwind; therefore, you subtract. • The answer is 40 km/h going north
A plane flying north at 50 km/h experiences a wind 10 km/h east. What is the magnitude and direction of the plane?
Answer • Use Pythagorean Theorem • a2 + b2 = c2 The answer is 51 km/h northeast
When an object is thrown in a curved path, what is its velocity at the top of the path?
Answer • Entirely horizontal because the vertical component is zero
Assuming the car starts from rest, what is the acceleration if the car has a speed of 20 m/s for 4 s?
Answer Unknown a Known v = 20 m/s t = 4 s a = v/t 5 m/s2
How high is a tree if an acorn falls and hits the ground in 2.25 s?
Answer Unknownd = vot + ½ gt2 d Known= 0(2.25s) + ½ (10m/s2)(2.25s)2 t = 2.25 s = 0 + 5m/s2(5.0652s2) d = 25.31 m
Question • When a balloon deflates, the balloon pushes on the air and _______.
Answer • The air pushes on the balloon
Question • A book weighs 10 N. When held at rest in your hands, the net force on the book is ____.
Answer • Zero
Question • As a ball falls, the action force is the pull of Earth's mass on the ball. What is the reaction to this force?
Answer • The pull of the ball’s mass on the Earth
Question • The outside force that slows objects down or stops their motion is ___.
Answer • Friction
Question • What is the pressure exerted on a table by a book that weighs 35 N and covers an area of 3 m2?
Answer Known F = 35 N A = 3 m2 Unknown P Equation P = F A Solve P = 35 N 3m2 P = 11.67 N/m2 or 11.67 Pa
Question • A dog walks on a street. What is the force of friction between the 225 N dog and the street that has a coefficient of friction of 0.26?
Answer Known w = 225 N = FN µ = 0.26 Unknown Ff = ? Equation Ff = µFN Solve Ff = µFN Ff = (0.26)(225N) Ff = 58.5 N
Question • Mass and acceleration are __________________ proportional.
Answer • Inversely proportional • More mass results in less acceleration • Less mass results in more acceleration
Question • Pressure and Area are _______________ proportional.
Answer • Inversely proportional • More area covered results in less pressure • Less area covered results in more pressure
Question • Which has greater tangential speed, a horse near the outside rail of a merry-go-round or a horse near the inside rail?
Answer • The one on the outside because it has a larger radius
Answer E The depth and the density
Archimedes' principle says that an object is buoyed up by a force that is equal to the _____.
Answer A weight of the fluid displaced
What is the difference in water pressure between the top and bottom of a 100-m deep well?
Answer • At the bottom the pressure is greater
If you lift four loads up one step, how much work do you do compared to lifting two loads up one step.
Answer • You do twice as much work W = Fd, therefore, if the distance stays the same but you lift twice as much weight, you do twice as much work
What is the buoyant force of a rubber ducky floating in water that displaces 0.05 cm3 of water. (remember the density of water is 1 g/cm3)
Answer Known D = 1 g/cm3 g = 10 m/s2 V = 0.05 cm3 Unknown Fb Equation Fb = DgV Solve Fb = DgV =(1g/cm3)(10m/s2)(0.05cm3) Fb = 0.5 N
Draw a parallel and series circuit with three resistors. Label the resistors, wire and battery.
Answer • Series Parallel wire battery
The Tacoma Bridge collapsed due to the alignment of frequencies between the bridge and the wind which is called ___.
Answer • Resonance
Which is the angle of reflection? • Angle C
