119. Two physics students have been selected by NASA to accompany astronauts on a future mission to the Moon. The students are to design
and carryout a simple experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon.

Describe an experiment that the students could conduct to measure the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. Your description must
include:

• the equipment needed

• what quantities would be measured using the equipment
• what procedure the students should follow inconducting their experiment
• what equations and/or calculations the students would need to do to arrive at a value for the acceleration due to gravity on the
Moon

Base your answers to questions 120 and 121 on the information

below.

A physics class is to design an experiment to

determine the acceleration of a student on inline skates
coasting straight down a gentle incline. The incline has
a constant slope. The students have tape measures,
traffic cones, and stopwatches.

120. Describe a procedure to obtain the measurements necessary

for this experiment.

121. Indicate which equation(s) they should use to determine the

student’s acceleration.

Base your answers to questions 122 and 123 on the information

below.

A car traveling at a speed of 13 meters per second

accelerates uniformly to a speed of 25 meters per
second in 5.0 seconds.

122. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the car

during this 5.0-second time interval. [Show all work,
including the equation and substitution with units.]

123. A truck traveling at a constant speed covers the same total

distance as the car in the same 5.0-second time interval.
Determine the speed of the truck.
Base your answers to questions 124 through 126 on the information below.

A car on a straight road starts from rest and accelerates at 1.0 meter per second2 for 10. seconds. Then the car continues to travel at
constant speed for an additional 20. seconds.

124. Determine the speed of the car at the end of the first 10. seconds.

125. On the grid provided, use a ruler or straightedge to construct a graph of the car's speed as a function of time for the entire 30.-second
interval.

126. Calculate the distance the car travels in the first 10. seconds. [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]

116. Credit for indicating that the acceleration of the object is 1.2 m/s2 or
an answer that is consistent with the student's graph

117. 8.60 km or 8.6 km

118. 12.00 km or 12. km or 12 km

119. freefall — object, meterstick, stopwatch — time of fall, distance of

fall— drop object from measured height, time its fall — d = vit + 12at2
pendulum — string, mass, stopwatch, meterstick — length of
pendulum, period — measure length of pendulum, period of
pendulum— T = 2p ( gg… )¡
spring scale — spring scale, known mass — weight on Moon of
known mass — hang the weight on the spring scale and weigh it —
Fg(M) = mgM

120. Examples: setting up a measured distance. — measuring the time to

travel that distance.

121. d = vit + ¡at2

122.

123. 19 m/s.

125.

126. d = vit + ½at2

d = 0 + ½(1.0 m/s2)(10. s)2
d = 50. m

or

d = area = ½bh
d = ½(10. s)( 10. m/s)
