Find the force of an object when it hits the ground if it is dropped from 5 meters and has a mass of 5kg.
F = m * a 5 x 9.8 = 49
Find the GPE of an object that weighs 65N and is at a height of 4m.
Find the GPE of an object with a mass of 35 kg and is at a height of 40m
65 N x 4m = 260 Joules 35 kg x 9.8 x 40m = 13720 J
Find the KE of an object that has a mass of 6kg and has a velocity of 25 m/s.

A forward force of 25 N is put on an object. It experiences a resistance force due to friction of 13N. a.
12 N forward b.
A = F/m 12/.4 = 30 m/s/s
What is the net force on the object?

Calculate the velocity of waves which have a wavelength of .5m and has a crest pass the observation point every .5 seconds.
Frequency = 1/.5 = 2
Velocity = .5 x 2 = 1 m/s
Forces:
Friction – brings objects to a rest, many times we try to reduce it, we need it in many cases!
Gravity – keeps planets in orbit , more when masses are greater, or distances are shorter
Normal – force of a surface acting on an object
Applied – force purposely exerted on an object
Newton’s Third Law of Motion explains why….
When you kick your wall with your foot, your foot hurts!
When you stand, you don’t sink into the ground!
How rockets are launched into space!
Why when I walk Miss Reece my arm kills afterwards!

Heat Transfer
Heat transfer by radiation a) b) is not possible from human beings to their environment.
does not occur from light bulbs
they are too bright.
c) d) does not require any material between the radiator and the object receiving the radiation.
none of the above.

Calculate the net force on a ball that has a mass of .5 kg and is falling. The object is experiencing an air friction force of 2N. What is the acceleration of the ball?
F grav = 4.9N
Net force = 4.9N – 2N = 2.9N
A = F/m 2.9/.5 = 5.8 m/s/s
Draw the refracted ray in the following examples:
A ray of light is approaching a set of three mirrors as shown in the diagram. The light ray is approaching the first mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface. Trace the path of the light ray as it bounces off the mirror. Continue tracing the ray until it finally exits from the mirror system. How many times will the ray reflect before it finally exits?
Mac and Tosh stand 8 meters apart and demonstrate the motion of a transverse wave on a snakey. The wave can be described as having a vertical distance of 32 cm from a trough to a crest, a frequency of 2.4 Hz, and a horizontal distance of 48 cm from a crest to the nearest trough. Determine the amplitude, and wavelength and speed of such a wave.
Amplitude = 16 cm (Amplitude is the distance from the rest position to the crest position which is half the vertical distance from a trough to a crest.) Wavelength = 96 cm (Wavelength is the distance from crest to crest, which is twice the horizontal distance from crest to nearest trough.
Speed = 230 cm/s (The speed of a wave is calculated as the product of the frequency times the wavelength.)
A tennis coach paces back and forth along the sideline 10 times in 2 minutes. The frequency of her pacing is ________ Hz .a. 5.0
b. 0.20 c. 0.12 d. 0.083
f =10 cycles / 120 s = 0.0833 cycles/s
Non-digital clocks (which are becoming more rare) have a second hand that rotates around in a regular and repeating fashion. The frequency of rotation of a second hand on a clock is _______ Hz.
a. 1/60 d. 1 b. 1/12 e. 60 c. 1/2
f = 1 cycle / (60 s) = (1 / 60) Hz
While driving down the road, a firefly strikes the windshield of a bus and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver. This is a clear case of Newton's third law of motion. The firefly hit the bus and the bus hits the firefly. Which of the two forces is greater: the force on the firefly or the force on the bus?
Trick Question! Each force is the same size. For every action, there is an equal ... (equal!). The fact that the firefly splatters only means that with its smaller mass, it is less able to withstand the larger acceleration resulting from the interaction. Besides, fireflies have guts and bug guts have a tendency to be
splatterable. Windshields don't have guts. There you have it.
