FM4 Review

1. Define the following.

Kinematics - study of how an object moves. Does not consider mass or
force.
Dynamics study of why the object moves the way it does. Takes both
mass and force into consideration.
Force a push or a pull that may cause an object to change its velocity
(ie.acceleration).
Inertia the resistance of an object to change its state of motion.
Friction the force that is USUALLY present that opposes the direction of
motion.
2. If you are riding in a vehicle and the brakes are applied, what causes you to lean
forward?
INERTIA
3. As Ted stands, he applies a force of 850 N on the ground. What is the force that
the ground is applying on Ted?
850 N
4. A force of 250 N [N] is applied to a box. If there is a 25 N frictional force, what is
the FNET?
230 N [N] *** Remember sig. figs! ***
5. A force of 250 N [N] is applied to a box. If there is a 350 N frictional force, what
overall motion will the box experience?
NO MOTION! FRICTION EXCEEDS EXTERNAL FORCE.
6. Assuming the force remains constant, if the mass of an object is tripled, what
would happen to the acceleration?
1/3
7. Assuming the force remains constant, if the mass of an object is quartered, what
would happen to the acceleration?
4X
8. If the mass of an object is unchanged and the force is tripled, the acceleration
would do what as a result?
3X
9. An object with a mass of 750 g on a frictionless surface is given an acceleration
of 0.25 m/s2 [S]. What force was given to the object?
0.19 N [S]
10. A hockey puck has a mass of 160 g. If the puck is shot from a stationary
position with a force of 6.46 N [E], how quickly will the puck accelerate?
40. m/s2 [E]
11. Mr. Lendvay applies a force of 21.0 N [W] on an a lawn mower with a mass of
26.3 kg. If the frictional opposing force is 22.2 N, what is the resulting acceleration
of the object?
0 m/s2; Not enough force to overcome friction
12. A curler applies a force of 75.5 N [S] on an object with a mass of 19.88 kg. If
the frictional opposing force is 0.75 N, what is the resulting acceleration of the
rock?
3.76 m/s2 [S]

13. An object accelerates to the east from rest for 12.5 s and travels 245 m. If the
force required to get the object moving was 1.2 N [E], what is the mass of the
object?
m = 0.38 kg
