ACC A Acceleration and Free-fall The Concept of Acceleration 1. Accelerating objects are objects that are changing their velocity. Name the three controls on an automobile that cause it to accelerate. 2. An object is accelerating if it is moving. Circle all that apply. a. with changing speed b. extremely fast c. with constant velocity d. in a circle e. downward f. none of these 3. If an object is NOT accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is. a. at rest b. moving with a constant speed c. slowing down d. maintaining a constant velocity Acceleration as a Rate Quantity Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes. The velocity of an object refers to how fast it moves and in what direction. The acceleration of an object refers to how fast an object changes its speed or its direction. Objects with a high acceleration are rapidly changing their speed or their direction. As a rate quantity, acceleration is expressed by the equation: acceleration = Velocity time = v final - voriginal time 4. An object with an acceleration of 10 m/s 2 will. Circle all that apply. a. move 10 meters in 1 second b. change its velocity by 10 m/s in 1 s c. move 100 meters in 10 seconds d. have a velocity of 100 m/s after 10 s 5. Ima Speedin puts the pedal to the metal and increases her speed as follows: 0 mi/hr at 0 seconds; 10 mi/hr at 1 second; 20 mi/hr at 2 seconds; 30 mi/hr at 3 seconds; and 40 mi/hr at 4 seconds. What is the acceleration of Ima's car? 6. Mr. Henderson's (imaginary) Porsche accelerates from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 4 seconds. Its acceleration is. a. 60 mi/hr b. 15 m/s/s c. 15 mi/hr/s d. -15 mi/hr/s e. none of these 7. A car speeds up from rest to +16 m/s in 4 s. Calculate the acceleration. 8.

A. at different rates bigger objects have more acceleration B. the same rate all objects have the same acceleration C. at different rates smaller objects have more acceleration 10. Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Earth is meaning that. A. Every second you fall, you travel 9.8 meters. B. Every meter you fall takes 9.8 seconds C. Every 9.8 meters takes a second squared D. Every second you fall your velocity increases by 9.8 m/s
Answers ACC A - Acceleration and Free fall The Concept of Acceleration 1. Acceleration is a change in velocity - either in the speed or in the direction. The brake pedal and gas pedal cause speed changes. The steering wheel causes direction changes. 2. An object is accelerating if it is moving. Circle all that apply. a. with changing speed b. extremely fast c. with constant velocity d. in a circle e. downward f. none of these Accelerating objects are changing their velocity. A velocity is a speed with a direction. An object with a changing velocity can be changing its speed (choice a) and/or changing its direction (choice d). 3. If an object is NOT accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is. a. at rest b. moving with a constant speed c. slowing down d. maintaining a constant velocity If an object is not accelerating, then it is not changing its velocity. The velocity is constant. A velocity is a speed with a direction; so if it has a constant velocity, then it also has a constant speed and direction. Acceleration as a Rate Quantity 4. An object with an acceleration of 10 m/s 2 will. Circle all that apply. a. move 10 meters in 1 second b. change its velocity by 10 m/s in 1 s c. move 100 meters in 10 seconds d. have a velocity of 100 m/s after 10 s 5.

What is the acceleration of Ima's car? Ima's acceleration is 10 mi/hr/s because her speed changes by 10 mi/hr each second. 6. Mr. Henderson's (imaginary) Porsche accelerates from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 4 seconds. Its acceleration is 15 mi/hr/s. a. 60 mi/hr b. 15 m/s/s c. 15 mi/hr/s d. -15 mi/hr/s e. none of these 7. A car speeds up from rest to +16 m/s in 4 s. Calculate the acceleration. a = velocity / time = (16 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 s) = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s 2 8. A car slows down from +32 m/s to +8 m/s in 4 s. Calculate the acceleration. a = velocity / time = (8 m/s - 32 m/s)/(4 s) = (-24 m/s) / (4 s) = - 6 m/s 2 9. In the absence of air friction all objects accelerate.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.10. The mass of the object is 8.0 kg. What is the force of friction? 3. The force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 46N and the coefficient of friction between them is 0.30. What is the weight of the object? 4. The force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 360N. The mass of the object is 95kg. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? 5. The force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 126 N and the coefficient of friction between them is 0.20. What is the mass of the object?
DYN F Friction Answers 1. What is the formula for calculating the force of gravity? The formula for the force of gravity is : where g, or acceleration due to gravity equals 9.8 m/s 2 2. What is a normal force? What does normal force mean? Normal force is a force a surface pushing on an object. Most commonly, normal force is used to describe the force a table or a desk pushed up on an object at rest on the table or desk. Normal force is not always straigt up. It is sometimes at an angle when the surface is slanted or sloped. 3. A textbook is at rest on a table. There are only two forces acting on the book; the force of gravity and the normal force. Draw a free-body diagram of the textbook at rest on the table with the two forces present. Normal Force Force of gravity 4. True or False? Explain why The force of gravity on the textbook is equal to the normal force. TRUE! The force of gravity going down is equal to the normal force going up because the textbook is not moving up or down and there are no other forces acting on the book in the up or down direction. Therefore the forces going up and going down must be balanced or equal. 5. True or False? Explain why Weight and force of gravity are the same thing. TRUE! The force of gravity is called your weight textbook Conceptual 1. True or False? Explain why Friction is a force opposing motion; therefore friction is always in the opposite direction of the motion. TRUE! Friction opposes motion therefore friction is in the opposite direction of motion. If an object is moving to the right, then friction is to the left. If a car is moving to the left, and slowing down, it is still moving to the left and in this case, friction is to the right. 2. True or False? Explain why Kinetic Friction and Static Friction is the same thing. FALSE! Kinetic friction is the friction that exists between an object and a surface when the object is moving. Static friction is the friction that exists between an object and a surface when the object is not moving, or at rest. 3. True or False? Explain why Kinetic Friction is greater than Static Friction because objects create more friction when they are moving. FALSE! Kinetic friction is less than Static Friction. Think of it in terms of Newton s 1 st Law. An object at rest, wants to stay at rest. Therefore an object at rest requires more force to begin motion. The object is at rest and wants to stay at rest; therefore it has more friction than on object in motion. Again, think about in terms of Newton s 1st Law. An object in motion wants to stay in motion, therefore it requires less force to keep it moving, it has less opposition to a force that wants to keep it moving, and therefore it creates less friction. 4. True or False? Explain why The greater the coefficient of friction, the greater the force of friction a surface can create therefore resulting in more friction being present as an object moves across the surface. TRUE! The formula is: or where the symbol stands for coefficient of friction. Therefore, the greater that number for, the greater the force of friction will be. For example, a piece of steel on top of another piece of steel has a coefficient of friction of about 0.7. The coefficient of friction between two pieces of ice is 0.04. Also, the coefficient of STATIC friction between two materials is greater than the coefficient of KINETIC friction between the same two materials. or Answers Computational 1)23.52 N 2)7.84 N 3) 153.3 N 4) 0.39 5) 64.3 kg
