Two cars with different masses travel at the
same speed down a hill toward a stop sign.
What will happen when both cars apply
brakes at the same time to stop?
F. The car with the smaller mass will require less
force to stop than the car with the larger mass
G. The car with the larger mass will maintain its
velocity while traveling down the hill.
H. The car with the smaller mass will take longer to
Stop than the car with the larger mass.
J. The car with the larger mass will have less inertia
than the car with the smaller mass.
A 100
F = ma
The smaller the mass, the
faster it can stop

Four students raced toy cars on a track. The mass
and the acceleration of each car is recorded in the
table below.
Which toy car had the greatest applied
force?

Work all problems:
1 = .19 x 2 = .38N
2 = .15 x 3 = .45 N
3 = .25 x 1.5 = .375 N
4 = .21 x 2.5 = .53 N

An object will continue moving in a straight line
unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force.
Which of the following best explains Earth’s
motion?
A. There is no unbalanced force acting on Earth
because space is empty and nothing touches
Earth.
B. The gravitational force pulling Earth toward the
sun is equal and opposite to the force pulling
the sun toward Earth, so there is no unbalanced
force acting on Earth.
C. The sun moves in an elliptical orbit around
Earth, and the sun’s gravity pulls Earth along.
D. Earth moves in an elliptical orbit around the
sun because the gravitational force of the sun
attracts Earth.
A 300
D
The Earth would move in a
straight line through space if
the sun’s gravity did not keep
it in orbit.

Some students measure the acceleration of a
wheeled cart being acted on by varying forces. The
students record their data in the table shown above.
According to the data table, how much force is
acting on the cart when the students measure an
acceleration of 2.6 m/s2? (find the mass from the
given data, then find the force for the last one.)
A 400
m = f/a
M = 5/1 = 5 grams
F = ma = 5 x 2.6 = 13

Sometimes tectonic plates do not move easily
past one another, and the plates become stuck.
Forces build up, and when the plates finally
move, tension is released, as shown above.
The sudden movement of the plates is caused
by:
* The mass of the plates
* the weight of the plates
• Unbalanced forces
• Gravitational forces

Which of the following is considered to
be work?
• A body builder lifts 350 pounds
above his head.
• A mother carries her baby from
room to room.
• A woman carries a 20 km grocery
bag to her car?
• A body builder holds 350 pounds
over his head for 5 minutes
B 100
A body builder LIFTS 350 lbs over his
head.
Work is moving a FORCE through a
DISTANCE. When he holds it over
his head, he is not moving it through a
distance.
B 100
Calculate: If a man
pushes a concrete block
10 meters with a force
of 20 N, how much
work has he done?

The diagram shows a
boat moving NORTH in
a river at 3m/s while
the current in the river
moves SOUTH at 1
m/s.
How will the boat be
affected if it enters a

the current is moving
south at 2 m/s?

This is a simple force problem
3 m/s North minus 2 m/s South
(subtract forces going in opposite
directions) equals 1 m/s North. The
boat will be moving slower than it
was before, when it was moving
North at 2 m/s (3m/s N – 1 m/s S = 2
m/s N)
B 300
Which of the following situations shows work
being done?
A. Student sitting in chair holding both boxes
B. Student holding the large box 1 m above the
floor
C. Student standing and holding the small box.
D. Student lifting the small box 0.5 m from the
floor to a table.
B 400
.5 m x 1.3N = .65 N-m
(Joules)
Work is done only in D.
None of the others move
a force through a
distance.
B 400
Which best explains the student’s data?
F. The speed of the cart DECREASES as the cart
rolls down the ramp because of FRICTION
between the cart and the ramp.
G. The speed of the cart INCREASES as the cart
rolls down the ramp because the force acting
on the cart is GREATER than the force of
GRAVITY.
H. The speed of the cart INCREASES as the cart
rolls down the ramp because the forces acting
on the cart are UNBALANCED.
B 500
H.
The speed of the cart
INCREASES as the cart rolls
down the ramp because the
forces acting on the cart are
UNBALANCED.
The force pulling the cart down
the ramp IS gravity, not a force
GREATER than gravity, as in
answer G.
The cart is clearly INCREASING
speed, not DECREASING, as in F.

In the classroom demonstration shown below, a rubber ball is
dropped from position 1. The ball bounces as shown. At which
position does the ball have
both the greatest potential
energy and the least
kinetic energy?
.
Position 1
Position 2
Position 3
Position 4
C 100
Position 1.
Potential energy is stored
energy; Kinetic energy is
energy of motion. The ball
will fall farthest and pick up
most acceleration from
position 1

sources that cannot be

Propane is a potential energy. It is a
chemical which can be turned into heat
(thermal energy) by burning;
the mechanical energy is the sum of
potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the
energy associated with the motion and
position of an object; the balloon rises,
turning the potential energy into kinetic
energy, thus, mechanical energy.

the sun than from all the other stars in
the universe combined?

stars
B. The sun is much hotter than the other
stars
C. The sun is much more dense than the
other stars
D. The sun is much closer than the other
stars
C 500
D

star. It is the only one
close enough to receive
heat energy from.
