Newton's Laws

of Motion
By: Jorie, Maddock, Tekai, and Oscar
 Question 4
What force would be need to accelerate a 0.040 kg golf ball at 20.0 m/s^2?

Force Formula Answer

When you are Therefore,
given the mass of 0.040 x 20.0 = 0.8
the object as well Newtons
as the
acceleration, you
can use the
formula
FORCE=MASS x
ACCELERATION.
 Question 5
Most people can throw a baseball further than a bowling ball, and most people would find it less painful
to catch a flying baseball than a bowling ball flying at the same speed as the baseball. Explain these two
situations in terms of…
Newton’s first law of motion
A The force needed to allow the bowling ball to reach the same speed as the baseball, would be much greater
than the force required for the baseball. To stop the bowling ball, you would need the same amount of force,
and same for the baseball.

Newton’s second law of motion

B Because the mass of the bowling ball is larger it would take more force to have it accelerate at the same
speed as a baseball
 Question 6
Calculate the weight of a new fast-food sandwich that has a mass of 0.1 kg (approximately the mass
of a quarter pound). Think of a clever name for the sandwich that would incorporate its weight in
Newtons.

To solve this, use the formula WEIGHT=MASS x GRAVITY

Because they do not give us an exact Gravity, we can

approximate it to be 10. Therefore, 0.1 x 10 = 1
Newton. In other words, the One Newton Burger!
 Question 15
The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. What force does
the gravitational attraction of Earth exert on a 12.8 kg object, such as a toolbox loaded with tools?

To solve this use the equation FORCE=MASS x

ACCELERATION

Therefore, 12.8 x 9.8 = 125.44 Newtons.

 Question 18
Using a sport of your choice, write a script for a voice over that deals
with accelerated motion and forces.
