A steeper line on a postion vs. time graphs indicates what about the speed?

Moving faster

What does a flat line on a speed vs. time graph represent in terms of acceleration?

zero acceleration

sketch a postion vs. time, speed vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graph for an object that is slowing down at a constant rate in the + direction.

See board

sketch a position vs. time graph for the following scenario: A man walks forward at a constant rate, then he starts running at a constant rate, then he slows gradually to a stop and stays stopped.

What Greek letter is used to signifiy the coefficient of friction?

mu

To find the coefficient of kinetic friction by what must you divide the frictional force needed to keep an object moving at a constant rate? (Be more specfic than "weight")

Normal force

If you were wanting to see how far you could slide along a sidewalk when it was rainy, would you want a shoe with a mu of .5 or .2?

.2

What is the SI unit for the coefficient of friction?

There is no unit

Newtons/Newtons cancel out

A box slides down a ramp. A 10-N force of gravity is pulling the box down the ramp while a 2-N force of friction acts to stop the box. What is the net force accelerating the box down the ramp?

8 newtons

A car drives at constant speed around a corner. Is it accelerating?

Yes, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing and thus there is a net force acting on the car and thus there is acceleration.

The constant slope of a velocity (m/sec) vs. time (sec) graph is -1.3  . What is the acceleration of the object that is being graphed?

-1.3 m/sec^₂

An object is moving forward but has negative acceleration. Describe this motion.

slowing down

The acceleration due to gravity is:
a    9.8 m/s2 on Earth.    
b    signified by the letter g.    
c    a downward acceleration.    
d    less on the moon than on Earth    
e    All of the above

e

A sports car reaches a speed of 25 m/s in 5 seconds after starting from rest. If its acceleration stays the same, what will the speed of the car be at 10 seconds?
a    5 m/s    
b    50 m/s    
c    125 m/s    
d    500 m/s

b    50 m/sec

What is the powerful energy field used by the Jedi in Star Wars called?

The Force

The moon is 1/6th as massive as the earth. What would the mass of a 60 kg person be on the moon?

60 kg

The g force on Mars is roughly 2/5 of the earth's. How would the weight of a 100 pound person on earth compare to their weight on Mars?

100 pounds on earth is about 40 pounds on Mars

An object weighs 600. newtons on earth. What is its mass, in kg?

61.2 kg

w= m x g

m= w/g

600/9.8

Two men are having a tug-of-war. One individual pulls East with a force of 1000 newtons, and the other pulls to the West with a force of 1,200 newtons. Describe the net force and direction with a vector and state the tension on the rope.

200 newtons west

Tension on rope = 1000 newtons

System will be accelerating to the west

Which of the following is a projectile:

A ball thrown into the air

An airplane

Ball thrown into the air

T_a on the data collector reads .0071 s after your energy car passes photogate A. What is the speed of the car at photogate in cm/sec?

140 cm/sec

1.00/.0071 = 140.85

The force of gravity acting on one kilogram on the earth is

9.8 newtons
