This means the F N (the force the scale shows) is less than the F g. d. Since the scale is accelerating upward, the net force is directed upward. This means the F N (the force the scale shows) is greater than the F g 38. The sum of all the forces acting upon an object (F net ) is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration N m/s 2 upward 41. The mass (quantity of matter) does not change regardless of where the object is located. Weight is a function of the acceleration due to the planet's gravity, so the weight of an object will be different on different planets. 42. mass does not change N UNIT 4 Circular Motion 44.

Speed is constant. 45. a. tensional force in the string supplies centripetal force to keep object in a circular path. b. frictional force between the road and tires supplies centripetal force to keep object in a circular path. c. gravitational force between the satellite and planet supplies centripetal force to keep object in a circular path. 46 a.

The force between two masses is proportional to the amount of mass in each object and is indirectly related (by the inverse square law) to the distance between the objects. F g = G m 1m 2 r N x kg The speed is constant (uniform) and the direction is changing. 52. The speed is changing and direction is changing. Speed is greatest at equilibrium, and speed reaches zero at maximum amplitude.
