Corrections to Solutions

It appears my copy of the review sheet was different than yours. I have put the solutions below in the order the questions appear on your copy. Email me with any questions.

1. 0 Degrees (180 degrees is minimum resultant, 0 degrees is maxiumum)
2. Arrow up and to the right (use the parallelogram method)
3. 100N (use change in velocity - 10m/s, over change in time - 1.5 s to find acc., then multiply by mass to find the force)
4. 44m (use d = Vit + 1/2at^2, where a = 9.8, t = 3, Vi = 0)
5. decrease (remember because F = Gm1m2/r^2, the distance r plays a greater factor)
6. F (Force of friction only relies on Normal force, and coefficient of friction)
7. Arrow from the box, down and to the left, parallel to the plane (friction always opposes motion)
8. DE (this is where the slope of distance v. time is NOT constant, so velocity must be changing)
9. 10 m/s^2 (use v^2/r, NOT mv^2/r, because we are finding acceleration, not force)
10. copper (its coefficient is the smallest value).
11. 2.0s (Find the average acceleration (Vf + Vi)/2 , then use d = V*t to find t)
12. 1 x 10^ -2 N (mass of insect x velocity of insect)
13. 40m (use Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad)
14. .2h (use distance = average velocity * time)

Helpful Hints for the Exam Tomorrow

Forces:
  • If there is a net force, that means an object is ACCELERATING.
  • If there is NO net force (equilibrium), the object can still be moving, but there can't be a change in speed
  • If something is moving at CONSTANT speed, then the sum of all the forces must be 0
  • If something is moving at CONSTANT acceleration, then the NET FORCE must be constant.
  • On an inclined plane, the parellel force is the weight * sin of angle.
  • On an inclined plane, the perpendicular force is the weight * cos of angle
  • When in doubt, use the equation Fnet = m * a
  • As you make the angle of an incline greater, the parallel force increases (the object is more likely to slide down), and the perpendicular force decreases (the normal force decreases, also causing the object to slide).
  • The direction of friction is always opposite the direction of motion.

Gravitational Force: F = (Gm1m2/r^2)
  • If I double the mass of one object, I double the gravitational force between the two objects
  • If I triple the distance between two objects, the force becomes 1/3^2 = 1/9 as big
  • If I double mass, and distance, the force will still decrease because distance factors more than one mass

You should be comfortable drawing free body diagrams, identifying tension in a pulley system, and using the big 5 motion equations for horizontal and vertical motion.
