Ben Travlun carries a 200-N suitcase up three flights of stairs (a height of 10.0 m) and then pushes it with a horizontal force of
50.0 N at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s for a horizontal distance of 35.0 meters. How much work does Ben do on his suitcase
during this entire motion?

For the vertical part, W = (200 N) * (10 m) * cos (0 deg) = 2000 J.

For the horizontal part, W = (50 N) * (35 m) * cos (0 deg) = 1750 J.
3750 J

On his way to school, Jed traveled 100 m North, 300 m East, 100 m North, 100 m East 100 m North. Find the total distance
traveled by Jed.
Solution: dt = d1+ d2 + d3 + d4 + d5
= 100 m + 300 m + 100 m + 100 m +100 m
dt= 700 m

Suppose that a sled is accelerating at a rate of 2 m/s2. If the net force is tripled and the mass is doubled, then what is the new
acceleration of the sled? : 3 m/s/s
The original value of 2 m/s/s must be multiplied by 3 (since a and F are directly proportional) and divided by 2 (since a and m
are inversely proportional)
. Suppose that a sled is accelerating at a rate of 2 m/s2. If the net force is tripled and the mass is halved, then what is the new

m/s/s.

Which statement is true about speed and velocity?

TEST 2

 Define the inertia ? Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist changes in velocity (speed and/or
direction).
 Mass and inertia ? One's body movement to the side when a car makes a sharp turn.
 Newton's first law states that any object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted
upon by another force. This means an object will retain a constant velocity unless acted upon by a force (
F=M)
 if the same amount of force is applied to objects with different mass, the object with less mass will have
a larger acceleration than the object with greater mass.
 Balanced forces will cause no change in the speed of an object. Unbalanced forces are not
equal, and they always cause the motion of an object to change the speed and/or direction that it is
moving.
 Reaction” always comes after “Action”. “Action” means any act or occurrence or event or the
committing/performing of an activity. “Reaction” as in “Re-action” literally means the action done again but
only in response to the action or as a retaliatory measure or as an answer or as a rejoinder/rebuttal.
 one radian is equal to 180/π degrees.
 the net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.
