Name:___________________________ 670 Section:______ Date: ____/____/____ Intro Physics: Newton’s Laws and Gravity Review Mass, Weight, and Gravity 1. According to Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, every object that has mass exerts a gravitational force of attraction on every other object that has mass. a. What object exerts the strongest force of gravity on you? b. Why is its force of gravity on you stronger than the force of gravity that your friend exerts on you even though you are equally close to both of them? c. Why is its force of gravity on you more important than the force of gravity that the Sun exerts on you even though the sun has much, much more mass? 2. Your little sister tells you that mass and weight are the same. You know better! Please explain, in words that your little sister understands, what the difference between mass and weight is. Standard(s): 1.4, 1.7 TA: _____________ Independence Level: __________% Assistance, coaching, prompting: __________________________________________________ 3. There are 4 identical hands that are at different distances from the sun. Which hand has the largest force of gravitational attraction to the sun? Why does it have the largest force? SUN B A C D 4. There are 4 phones around the sun. All 4 phones are the same distance from the center of the sun, but they have different masses. Which phone has the largest force of gravitational attraction to the sun? Why does it have the largest force? B A SUN D C 5. Which has more mass: (circle your choice) a. a baseball b. a bowling ball 6. Our moon has a very large mass, so it has a very large inertia and wants to move in a straight line. Which force causes the moon to move in a fairly circular path around the earth? 7. How many Newtons does a 5.2 kg rock weigh on the Earth? Hint: use the formula weight = mg 8. If the 5.2 kg rock were brought to the moon, it would have a mass of _________. (circle your choice) a. more than 5.2 kg b. less than 5.2 kg c. 5.2 kg 9. A toy ball weighs 4 N on the Earth. If the toy ball were taken to the moon, it would weigh (circle your choice) a. more than 4 N b. less than 4 N c. 4 N d. 0 N Newton’s First Law 10. Which has more inertia: (circle your choice) a. a baseball b. a bowling ball 11. Auntie Kim is pulling her nephew Michael in a wagon so that he moves at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s. When she stops applying a force the wagon, he and the wagon quickly come to a stop. Since Michael and the wagon have mass, they have inertia and should want to keep moving at a constant velocity (constant speed in a straight line). Why do the wagon and Michael slow down and stop when she stops pulling? 12. One cold January morning, Freddy walks out to his car and finds it is covered in snow. He is late for work, so he only clears the snow off of the windows and sides of the car, leaving a big pile of snow on top of the car. Freddy pulls out of his driveway and begins driving down the road. A few minutes later, Freddy is moving at 35 mph when he sees his friend Madison walking down the sidewalk. He slams his foot on the brake to stop. When he does this, the snow from the top of the car falls onto his windshield! Why did this happen? Use Newton’s 1st Law in your explanation. 13. Without seatbelts, people could go flying through the windshield of a car that is stopped suddenly in an accident. In terms of forces and one or more of Newton’s laws, what are the seatbelts doing? 14. During the Inertia Smorgasbord Lab, a marble was rolled so it traveled inside a plate that has a piece cut out. Draw the path the marble takes when it leaves the plate. Newton’s 2nd Law 15. A motorcycle has a mass of 400 kg and accelerates at 2.5 m/s2. What is the magnitude (size) of the net force acting on the car? 16. Kevin is pushing a cart to the left with a force of 27 N. The force of friction on the cart is 25 N. a. What is the net force on the cart? Be sure to include the size of the force (which is the magnitude) and the direction of the net force. b. Use the net force determined in PART A to determine the cart’s acceleration if the cart has a mass of 15 kg. SHOW YOUR WORK and be sure to include the size of the force (which is the magnitude) and the direction of the net force in your answer! 17. What is the net force on a toy car that is moving at a constant 2 m/s in a straight line to the left? 18. A car is pulling away from a stop sign and speeding up to the right. Circle the true statement: a. There is 0 N of net force acting on the car. b. There is a net force acting on the car. The net force is directed to the left. c. There is a net force acting on the car. The net force is directed to the right. Newton’s 3rd Law 19. A softball player swings the bat and strikes a ball. According to Newton’s third law of motion, which of the following is a reaction to the bat pushing on the ball? (circle your choice) a. the ball pushing on the bat b. the bat pushing on the player c. the player pushing on the bat d. the ball pushing on the player MCAS Questions about Force, Newton’s Laws, and Gravity 1.
