A roller coaster is hard to stop because it has a lot of inertia.
Use Newton’s 1st Law (Law of Inertia) to explain why you feel tossed around when a roller coaster goes over a hill
or through a loop. (use academic vocabulary!)
Remember Inertia is the tendency of all matter to resist a change in motion.
Both the roller coaster and riders have inertia.
When a car turns or stops quickly, a rider continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction that the
coaster was moving.

A bowling ball with a mass 7.25 kg is dropped from 10 meters, it accelerates 9.8 m/s2.
What is the force that it will hit the ground?
F = 7.25kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 71.05N
A marble with a mass of 8 grams is dropped from 10 meters, it accelerates at 9.8 m/s2. (8 grams = .008kg)
What is the force it will hit the ground?
F = .008kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 0.0784N

Provide 3 examples of why Alfred Wegener developed his theory of Continental Drift.
1. Shapes of the continents fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
2. The geology and age of mountain ranges on different continents are a perfect match.
3. Matching plant and animal fossils occur in Africa, South America and other continents.

Newton’s 2nd Law: Force = mass x acceleration (F=ma)
1. What force is needed to accelerate a box with a mass of 100kg to an acceleration rate of 5m/s2?
F = 100kg * 5m/s2
F = 500 N
2. A force of 10N is applied to a ball with a mass of 2kg. What is the acceleration rate?
a = 10 N ÷ 2kg
a = 5 m/s2
3. A force of 100N is being applied to a bike that is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s 2 . What is the mass of the
bike?
m = 100 N ÷ 5m/s2 m = 20 kg

What do contour lines on a topographic map represent?
Contour lines on a topo map connect points that are of the same elevation measured from sea level.
Why do contour lines almost never cross or touch?
Since each contour line is a different elevation point, one contour line cannot be at two different elevations.

In yesterday’s lab, Mapping the Mountain, your second and third drawing may have looked like this .
Why did your lines start to indent like the ones on the west side of this map?
The V / U formed as you modeled erosion occurring. This changed the relief of that area.
Contour lines that cross a valley are “V” shaped.
“V” points to higher elevation.
In a stream or river valley the “V” always points upstream.

Which drawing is most accurate?
B
Explain why you chose that drawing and not the others.
B shows a river flowing between two steep canyon walls.
A shows a river flowing downhill.
C shows a river flowing across canyon walls not between them.

Sketch the following topographic maps in your Science Journal:
1. An area with 3 different peaks of at least 200 ft.
2. A hill of 50 feet next to a depression
3. A hill with a steep slope on the north and a gradual slope on the south
4. A mountain with a river flowing down it
5. A canyon with a river flowing at the bottom

3 people hiked to the top of the hill shown in this map. Each hiker started at the same elevation but took a
different route.
1. At what elevation did they begin their hike? 180 meters
2. Compare the steepness and distance each hiker hiked.
Hiker B – shortest distance, very steep slope (contour lines close)
Hiker A started on a gradual slope and ended steep slope, but traveled farther than hiker B
Hiker C longest hike but most gradual slope as contour lines farthest apart.
3. Which path would experience the greatest amount of weathering from heavy weathering over time? Why?
The path hiker B took would experience most weathering from rainfall because it had the steepest slope. The
water flowing down the hill closest to bottom will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.
Potential energy greatest at top (gravity).
