1)Why is a lever easier to break in the middle than near the edge (especially the longer the easier to

fracture)?

2) Consider a box that has a mass of 35 kg. Calculate the weight of the box a)on Earth b)on the moon
(1.6m/s^2)

3)Suppose you kick the same box horizontally from the street to the sidewalk. If you kicked it with F =
70 N, how fast would the box accelerate?

4)How fast would the box from Q#3 accelerate on the moon if kicked horizontally?

5)Why would kicking a bowling ball across the surface of the moon be just as hard to accelerate as it
would on Earth?
6) Write down all three of Newton’s Laws. Describe & explain them.

7)How do you explain why an object like a ball rolling or even a car driving across a horizontal surface
will EVENTUALLY STOP (in terms of Newton’s 1st law). What force exists to slow down things from
moving ACROSS SURFACES?

8)Which force is stronger(usually), the static friction or the sliding/kinetic friction?

9)The driver of a car is pressing the accelerator pedal causing a constant force of 390N to act on the
car. The car, however, is not accelerating. What must be the magnitude of the frictional force? (Hint:
Why does the Force applied not result in acceleration?)

10)A 0.5 kg hockey puck is hit with force of 16.4 N. It accelerates at 27.8m/s^2. What is the frictional
force (Ff) between the puck and the ice?

Write down everything you know (with examples) of conservation of momentum…
