28. zero, Galileo’s law of inertia
29. While an object near the earth’s surface is in free fall, its velocity increases.
30. The same time, because of Galileo’s Law of Falling Bodies
31. The juice container has inertia, keeping it at rest.
32. The snowmobile has inertia (continues moving with constant velocity unless an outside
force acts on it)

33. The object will continue moving at constant velocity (Newton’s First Law, body in motion
will continue in motion at a constant speed in a straight line unless some outside force acts
on it)
34. Kilograms measure mass (or inertia)
35. Weight is the gravitation attraction (force) between an object and the earth.
36. Twice as much mass means twice as much inertia.
37. Mass is the same (everywhere)
38. Force is measured in Newtons
39. Weight is measured in Newtons (it is a force)
40. Force is a vector because both its magnitude and direction are important.
41. Acceleration would be tripled. Force and Acceleration are directly proportional.
42. Acceleration is 1/4x. Mass and Acceleration are inversely proportional.
43. Net Force =5 N (forces in opposite direction so subtract)
44. Net Force =0 N (same reason as 43)
45. Acceleration =0 m/s/s (A=F/M)
46. 19.6 N or 20 N (weight=Mass x gravity)
47. 4500 N (F=MA = 1500 kg x 3 m/s/s)
48. 2000 kg (M=F/A = 4000 N/ 2 m/s/s)
49. 4 m/s/s (A=F/M = 20 N/5 kg)
50. No force is needed to keep an object moving in outer space at constant velocity (no
outside forces to stop it)
51. 300 N (weight is evenly distributed between the 2 scales)
52. At the top of its path, the ball stops so the speed is zero. The acceleration of an object in
the air is always g or 9.8 m/s/s.

53. Arrow against the bowstring.

54. 500 N (Newton’s third law=forces equal and opposite)
55. Same on both. (Newton’s third law says forces equal and opposite)
56. Pickup truck speeding on highway. (Building and parked truck have v=0 m/s so no
momentum, dog and tightrope walker have small mass, so momentum=small)
57. Buckshot is much lighter than the shotgun, so the speed of the shotgun is much smaller
(since their momentums will be equal and opposite)
58. The force is reduced because the time of impact is increased (F=m∆v/∆t)
59. Force is 1/10 because the force and time are inversely proportional.
60. There is an increased time of impact on the driver which reduces the impact force (see
#58)
61. Work=Force x distance
62. Work=Force x distance Since force and distance are tripled, the work is 9x as high (3x3)
63. the change in potential energy of an elevated object is equal to the work done in lifting
the object.
64. KE=1/2 mass x Velocity2
65. Kinetic energy is energy of motion, potential energy is the energy of position (location).
66. Conservation of Energy states that no energy is lost or gained, so 100 Joules
67. Conservation of Energy states that the total amount of energy remains the same. Since at
the bottom there is no potential energy, all is kinetic. KE=10,000 J
68. Power (rate that work is being done) P=W/t
69. Kinetic Energy =1/2 mass x velocity2, so it is directly proportional to the square of the
velocity. If the velocity triples, the KE is multiplied by 32 or 9x as great.
70. Work=force x distance. Since the force is not moving a building, no work is done.

71. P=W/t (Power is inversely proportional to time) so Joe is doing the same work with 2x the
power.
72. They are equal (PE=KE=5000 J)
73. Using either Newton’s Law of Universal gravity or Newton’s third Law, both forces are
equal.
74. Force is inversely proportional to distance squared (inverse square law) so as the distance
gets bigger (further away), the force gets smaller.
75. Gravitational forces are relatively small between objects. They are only large when
dealing with very large masses.
76. Conduction, convection, and radiation.
77. Good conductors of heat are bad insulators of heat.
78. Convection occurs in fluids (liquids and gases)
79. Good absorbers are also good emitters (radiators)
80. Black-Black is a good absorber and a good emitter. White reflects.
81. Same answer as 80.
82. Gravitational forces are comparatively small. Electrical forces can repel or attract.
83. Electrical forces obey the inverse square law. As they get closer (distance decreases), the
force between them increases.
84. Electrical forces obey the inverse square law. As they get closer (distance decreases), the
magnitude of the force between them increases. For oppositely charged, the value gets
more negative, but the force itself is greater.
85. Like charges repel. Opposite charges attract.
86. Protons are positive, electrons are negative. They are opposites.
87. The electric field inside of the shed (metal) is zero.
88. Doubling the distance reduces the force by ¼ (inverse square law)

89. Electrical forces are relatively large (they appear small because you are usually dealing
with small amounts of charge)
90. They are both inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
