MIDTERM STUDY GUIDE – PHYSICS 1 WARNING! This is only a guide in order to focus your studying effort. The midterm will not be exactly like this. If it was, it would only be measuring your powers of memorization, and you know how I despise that. The problems presented here approximate those in the midterm, they do not mimic them. Please study over and above that which is given here. CONCEPTS mathematical analysis Proportion types, systematic vs. random uncertainty, accuracy, % error, metric conversions 1-D kinematics scalar/vector, distance/displacement, speed/velocity, acceleration, kinematics graphs, freefall relative motion/vector addition frames-of-reference, vector addition (1 & 2 dimensions) projectile motion characteristics (horizontal = constant , vertical = accelerated), horizontal-vertical independence dynamics nature of force and its affect on motion, Newton's laws of motion, kinetic/static friction, air resistance & terminal velocity, pulling/pushing at angle to motion, translational equilibrium, motion on an incline, Atwood machine EXAMPLE PROBLEMS 1. A car travels 10.0 km north in 400.0 s. Then it travels 25.0 km south in 850.0 s. What is the (a) average speed and (b) average velocity of the car? 2. A body with initial speed of 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels 640 m in 40.0 s. Find the (a) average velocity, (b) final velocity, and (c) acceleration. 3. A truck starts from rest and moves with a constant acceleration of 5.0 m/s². Find its a) speed and b) the distance traveled after 4.0 s has elapsed. 4. A marble dropped from a bridge strikes the water in 5.0 s. Calculate (a) the speed with which it strikes and (b) the height of the bridge. 5. A baseball is thrown straight upward with a speed of 30.0 m/s. (a) How long will it rise? (b) How high will it rise? (c) How long after it leaves the hand will it return to the starting point? 6. A boat is pointed straight across a river (east) and is moving at a speed of 0.55 m/s relative to the water. The current of the river is south at 0.30 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the boat relative to the river bank? (b) How long does it take the boat to cross the river if the river is 65 m wide? 7. A ball, rolling with a speed of 20.0 cm/s, rolls off the edge of a table that is 80.0 cm high. (a) How long does it take to drop to the floor? (b) How far, horizontally, from the table edge does the ball strike the floor? 8. A body projected upward from level ground at an angle 55 with the horizontal has an initial speed of 40. m/s. (a) How long does it remain in the air? (b) How far from the starting point will it strike? 9. A force acts on a 2.0-kg mass and gives it an acceleration of 3.0 m/s². (a) What acceleration is produced by the same force when acting on a mass of 4.0 kg? (b) How large is the force? 10. A 95-kg box is sliding along a level floor with an initial speed of 15 m/s.
