Motion (questions 1-3)

The definition of motion is any change in position. This is expressed as distance or displacement.It is used to calculate:

Velocity is SPEED + Direction

Velocity EXAMPLE 50 mi/hr going North Speed EXAMPLE 50 mi/hr

Speed (#4)

What is the formula that relates these?

F = m * A

Inertia (#19 - 20)

Inertia is related to what physical property?

Mass (and mass only)

Inertia is defined as : the property of matter that resists a

change in motion

Force (21 #)

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Misconceptions about weight (#29)

When a heavy object and a light object are dropped from the same height, does one object hits the ground before the other one?

NO – both accelerate at the same rate.more mass means more force, but dividing it by the mass means acceleration is always the sameWhy do we have this misconception?

More gravity (#30)

What is the acceleration of a freely falling object?

The acceleration due to gravity on earth is:

9.8 m/s2

This assumes that there is no air resistance, which does affect some things more than others.

Newton’s Third Law (#31)

Why doesn’t a rocket need air to push against in order to fly in space? Explain this using Newton’s 3rd Law.

Newton’s 3rd law states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.When the rocket pushes out exhaust, the exhaust pushes on the rocket.

Newton’s 3rd Law (#32)

Newton’s third law talks about force pairs. What are the forces acting on and which direction are they acting?

Newton’s 3rd Law states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that a “force pair” is 2 forces acting on 2 different objects in 2 opposite directions. The forces are also equal in magnitude (amount).

m1v1 = - m2v2

(50 kg) (v1) = - (1kg)(15 m/s)

v1 = - (1kg)(15 m/s) / (50 kg)

v1 = - 0.3 m/s (in the opposite direction of the rock)
