Term
A ball is kicked  straight up at 30 m/sec.  It reaches its highest point in???
Definition
3.0 seconds
Term
A ball is tossed up, and falls down.   Howdo you calculate the entire trip, up and down?
Definition
2 times the time up
Term
A ball is kicked upwards with a velocity of 40 m/sec.  What is the final velocity  when it hits the ground?
Definition
-40m/s
Term
What are the units for acceleration?
Definition
m/sec/sec
Term

A car moves starts at marker 8 and moves forward 6 meters in 6 seconds, then back 4 meters in 2 seconds.

What is the total displacement ?

What is the total distance traveled

What is the average velocity of the car between 0 and 10 seconds?

What is the speed of the car between 0 and 6 seconds? 

Definition
Displacement = end -start which is -2m
Total distance is start to finish 10m
Average velocity is -.2m/s
Speed: you figure that one out.....
Term

 

Describe the displacement, acceleration for this a car if it had an initial speed of 25m/s, applied its brakes, and stopped in 5 seconds.

Definition
Acceleration = 5m/s/s
Displacement = 25 m
Term

Rocket launch from the ground.

Launch = 25 m/s

How long to reach max height?

total time in air?

Max height?

Velocity upon impact with ground?

Displacement?

Definition
how long? 2.5 s
Total time? 5 se
Max height? 31.25
Velocity? (-10m/s * 2.5)
Displacement? you figure that one out.
Term

A rocket is fired into the air, and returns.  What does the position v time graph look like?

 

 

Definition
an upside down U
Term

car drives off cliff.

What do you need to know to calculate when it hits the ground and how far from the base it lands

 

Definition
speed and height of cliff
Term
What is the vertical velocity of a car driving 35 m/s off an 80 m cliff?
Definition
-40m/s
Term

 

Describe the force pairs of a ball sitting on book sitting on a desk.

Definition
Book on Ball and Ball on Book
Term
Why are airbags safer than hitting the windshield?
Definition
The Airbag increases the stopping time, decreasing the force on the driver.
Term

An 8 kg cannon ball is fired from an 800 kg cannon

Which has the larger change in velocity, the ball or the cannon?  Why?

Definition
The ball: smaller mass needs larger change in velocity?
Term

[image]

When the cannon fires the cannon ball, which exerts more force?

Definition
The forces are equal upon impact
Term
If you weigh 76 kg, how many Newtons do you weigh?
Definition
760N.
Term
Definition
C
Term

200 kg ice boat

two boaters, one to the south with 500 N one to the west with 1200 N.  

What is the combined force?

Definition
1300 N
Term

 

200 kg ice boat

two boaters, one to the south with 500 N one to the west with 1200 N.

What is the resulting acceleration?

 

Definition
6.5 M/S/S
Term
A 1000 kg VW  traveling at 8 m/s, collides with a 2500 kg traveling at 4 m/s.  Which has the greater force?
Definition
Neither, according to Newton's 3rd law, the forces are equal.
Term
ΔWhen an 8 kg cannon ball is fired from an 800 kg cannon, what do you need to know to calculate the speed of the ball?
Definition
How much force the cannon applies to the ball and for how long.
Term

What are these formulas?

ΔΡ=mΔv

ΔP=FΔt

Definition
momentum equals mass time change in velocity or momentum equal force times time
Term
Convert 76 kg to Newtons.
Definition
760 N
Term

A student with a mass gets on an elevator.  The elevator moves so that the arbitrary scale the student stands on reads 1260.  What is the unbalance force on the student?

What is the acceleration?

Definition

Funball=500N

A=6.6m/s

Term
What is acceleration due to gravity?
Definition
-10m/s/s
