Review
velocity is (change in position)/time elapsed
acceleration is (change in velocity/time elapsed
Changes can be in magnitude or in direction or both
total force =mass x acceleration
Kinds of forces: gravitational,electromagnetic
Different kinds of forces can add to give total force.
Near the earth’s surface
gravitational force = Mass x g down
(1/2)mv2 + mgh = constant (conservation of energy)
kinetic
gravitational
potential
Review page 2:
When one object exerts a force F on another object
through a distance d along the direction of the
force, an amount of WORK Fd is done by the
first object on the second and an amount of
energy Fd is transferred from the first object to
the second.
Newton’s third law says that when one object
exerts a force F on a second object, then the second
object exerts a force –F(same magnitude, opposite
direction) on the first object.
Some practise questions.
Suppose the 1 kg block being pulled across the table
is accelerating at 8m/s2 and that the force pulling the
block is 10 newtons. What is the magnitude and
direction of the friction force on the block?
A. 9.8 newtons down
B. 10 newtons backward
C. 2 newtons backward
D. 2 newtons forward
If the same 1kg block (pulled with a 10 newton force)
was pulled through 1/2 meter while accelerating at 8
m/s2 how much thermal energy was generated?
A. 5 joules
B. 4 joules
C. 1 joule
D. 4.9 joules

When I dropped a rubber ball from one meter, it
was observed to rise to
0.75m after the first bounce. How was energy
conserved?
Answer:
A. Kinetic energy of ball increased.
B. The thermal energy of the floor and the ball
increased.
C. The kinetic energy of the earth increased.
D. The ball was spinning.
I push a cart up with a constant force up a slope to a height of 1/4
meter. The mass of the cart is 1/4 kg. The cart moves 1/2 meter
along the table as I do this. After I let it go, the cart continues up the
slope
until it reaches a height of 1/2 meter and then starts back down.
What was the magnitude of the force with which I pushed the cart?
A. 2.45/√5 newtons
B. 4.9/ √5 newtons
C. 4.9 newtons
D. 2.45 newtons

C. √(4.9√5)
D. √9.8

A baseball player hits a ball. The velocity as the ball leaves the bat
is 20 m/s up and 40 m/s horizontal. How much time does it take for
the ball to reach its highest point?
Answer:
A. 40/9.8 sec
B. 20√5/9.8 sec
C. 20/9.8 sec
D. 9.8/20 sec
Same baseball problem: How far away from the
batter in the horizontal
direction does the ball land?
A. 800/9.8m
B. 1600/9.8 m
C. 400/9.8 m
D. 3200/9.8 m
