Let’s accelerate!

Group 1- Arago, Berina, Cabales, Canet, Conda, Coronado

Question 1:
What is the
acceleration when
an unbalanced
force of 100N is
Given:
applied to a 5kg 100N = F
object? 5kg = M Formula used: Final Answer:
??? = A A = F/M 20m/s^2 =
100N/5kg
Solution:
100N/5kg = 20m/s^2

 2. (a) What is the
weight of a 1.25kg
book? (b) What is the
(A)
acceleration when a (B)
net force of 10.0N is Given: 1.25kg Given: 10.0N, 12.25 kg
applied to the book
Unknown: Weight of the
Unknown: acceleration
book/Mass
Formula: m x 9.8m/s² Formula: a= F/m
Solution: 1.25kg x Solution:
9.8m/s² 10,0N/12.25kg
Answer: 12.25N
Answer: 0.82 m/s^2

Question 3:
A 1,500 kg car
accelerates uniformly
from 44 km/h to 80.0 Given: The given are Solution: 80km/h
km/h in 10.0s. What 1,500kg, 40km/h, 80 (1000m/1km x
was the net force km/h, 10s. 1hr/3600s)= 80 x 1/3.6
exerted on the car?
Unknown: We are = 22.6 m/s^2
looking for the net 44km/h (1000m/1km x
Force exerted on the car. 1hr/3600s)= 44 x 1/3.6=
Formula: A= Vi-Vf/t 12.6 m/s^2
22.6-12.6/10= 1m/s^2

Question 3:
A 1,500 kg car
accelerates uniformly
from 44 km/h to 80.0 Formula for Force:
km/h in 10.0s. What
was the net force F= m x a
exerted on the car?
Solution:
F= 1,500 N x 1m/s^2
Answer:
1,500 N is the net force exerted on the car

How much
does a 60.0kg
person Given: 60.0kg
Unknown: The Solution: 60.0kg x
weigh?
weight of a 60.0kg 9.8m/s2
person. Answer: 588N
Formula: m x 9.8m/s2
