1. Distance vs. displacement
Problem: a man moves from point A to point B then to point C finally to point D.
Find the distance and displacement travelled?

D C

30m

A 5Om B

Solution
Distance = 50 + 30 + 50 = 130m
Displacement = 30m to north

D C

A 50m B

2. Distance vs. displacement

Problem: a car moves from point A to point B then C
Find the distance and displacement

A car

A 800m B 300m C

Solution:
Distance = 800m + 300m = 1100m

A 800m B 300m C
3. Newton’s law of motion
Problem: the object is at rest, the net force must be zero. Choose up as positive.
So down is negative.
Given: two upward forces of +12N and +8N
Solution: Fnet = +12N + (+8N) + Fg
0 = 20N + Fg
Fg = -20N (down)

4. Problem: what is the net force acting on a 5kg crate that is accelerating at
3m/s2?
Solution: F=ma
=5kg x 3m/s2
= 15N

5. Problem: Dave is riding his skateboard and pushes off the ground with his foot.
This causes him to accelerate at a rate of 4 m/s2 dave weighs 589N. How was
his push off the ground?
Solution: F = ma
= 60kg x 4m/s2
= 240N

6. How much force is needed to accelerate a 66kg skier at 2m/s2?

Solution: f = ma
= 66kg x 2m/s2
= 132N

7. What is the force on 1000kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8m/s2

Solution: F = ma
= 1000kg x 9.8m/s2
= 9,800N

8. An object of mass 110kg has a weight of 176N when on the moon. Determine the
acceleration due to gravity that is present on the moon.
Given: m = 110kg
Fg= 176N
g=?
equation: F = ma
FG/m = m x g/m
g = FG/m
g = -176N/110kg
g = -1.6 m/s2
9. Your cat has a mass of 2kg. What is her weight in Newtons on earth?
Solution: Fw = mg
= 2kg x 9.8 m/s2
= 19.6 N

10. What force must act on a 50kg mass to give it an acceleration of 0.30 m/s2?
Solution: F = ma
= 50kg x 0.30m/s2
= 15kg m/s2 / 15N
