I. IDENTIFY IF THE FOLLOWING QUANTITY IS A FORCE, MASS OR ACCELERATION.

______________1. 50 kg ______________6. 500 ft lbs/ m/s 2

______________2. 30 kg m/s 2 ______________7. 200 cm/ s2

______________3. 1000 N ______________8. 400 lbs

______________4. 60 g ______________9. 2000 slug ft /s 2

______________5. 150 m/ s 2 ______________10. 60 kg

II. WRITE FACT IF THE STATEMENT IS CORRECT AND BLUFF IF THE STATEMENT IS INCORRECT.

___________1. Inertia refers to the ability of an object to maintain its current state of motion.

___________2. A car has a greater inertia than a truck.

___________3. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

___________4. The greater the mass, the greater the force needed to accelerate an object.

___________5. The first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.

___________6. Fast-moving objects have more inertia than slow-moving objects.

___________7. A stationary object has no forces acting on it.

___________8. Galileo Galilei formulated the three laws of motion.

___________9. An object that has a great mass will accelerate faster that an object that has a lesser mass.

___________10. The unit used for acceleration in the meter-kilogram-system is ft /s 2

III. WRITE THE THREE FORMULAS THAT DESCRINED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FORCE, MASS, AND ACCELERATION.
IV. SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

1.) A 5 kg block is pulled across a table by a force of 61 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object.

2.) An object of mass 10 kg is accelerated upward at 2 m/s2 . What force is required?

IV. Instructions: Each of the items below is best represented by one of the Newton’s Laws of Motion. Write a 1, 2 or 3
for each of the following to indicate whether it’s Newton’s 1st, 2nd or 3rd law.

1. ______ A smaller cannon ball leaves a cannon much faster than a larger, heavier cannon ball fired at the same time.

2. ______Force= Mass x Acceleration

3. ______Two bumper cars collide into each other and each car jolts backwards

4. ______When you give your friend a lift on your bike you have to pedal harder and faster to keep the same speed
(acceleration) as you had when you were on your bike alone

5. ______For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

6. ______ When you are standing in a subway train and the train suddenly stops but your body continues to move
forward.

7. ______ A man stubs his toes on the leg of a chair.

8. ______It is much easier to carry your backpack when it is empty rather than when it’s full of textbooks.

9. ______A boy kicked a ball very hard and injured himself.

10.______ A swimmer pushes against the water.
