Then, answer the questions that follow. A REGULAR VISITOR A microgravity environment is one in which the apparent weight of an object is much less than its weight on Earth. The term microgravity is used instead of weightlessness because every object has some weight, though that weight may be so minuscule as to be undetectable. Because every object in the universe exerts a gravitational pull on every other object, every object possesses weight. Microgravity occurs whenever an object is in free fall. Scientists achieve micro gravity environments in a number of ways. Drop towers and research aircraft provide it for up to 20s. The Shuttle and the International Space Station can provide it for months. A rocket ship that is accelerating by firing its rockets cannot provide microgravity. Even if the rocket is accelerating uniformly, force is applied to the rocket by the gases escaping out the back. This force must be transferred to each part of the ship through either pressure or tension, and thus weightlessness is not experienced. When the Shuttle is orbiting, it is in constant motion around the Earth. Why isn't this motion experienced as weight? a. b. There is no net force acting on the c. Shuttle. The Shuttle's mass is not large enough d. to exert a measurable gravitational pull. The Earth is exerting the same pull on both the Shuttle and its passengers. The Earth is too far away to have a measurable gravitational effect. ____ 31. Near Earth’s surface, the strongest gravitational force would occur between an elephant and a. the sun. c. a cat. b. the moon. d. Earth. ____ 32. The gravitational force between two objects depends on masses of objects and a. accelerations of objects. c. speeds of objects. b. distance between objects. d. sizes of objects. ____ 33. Two identical cars travel at 45 miles per hour toward the center of the intersection (point A, as shown above) with equal force. The cars collide at the intersection. If after they collide the cars stick to each other and move together, they will come to rest closest to a. b. Location A Location B c. d. 5 Location C Location D Name: ________________________ ID: C ____ 34. Which statement about weight is incorrect? a. An object weighs more on the moon than it weighs on Earth. b. A change in an object’s location can change the object’s weight. c. An object’s weight is directly proportional to its mass. d. The weight of an object depends on gravity. ____ 35. If the net force on an object is zero, then the object has a. reaction forces. c. balanced forces. b. action forces. d. unbalanced forces. Short Answer 36. A snowboarder begins his run from rest (point 1) on top of a hill. He moves straight down the slope until he reaches the bottom of the hill (point 4) and the ground levels off. The snowboarder continues to move horizontally across the level ground and eventually comes to a stop (point 5). Using the same board, the snowboarder decides to make another run down the hill to see if he can increase his speed. Describe one thing the snowboarder could do to increase his speed on the slope. Explain why this would cause his speed to increase. (2 points) 37. Why can the shuttle (in question 30) provide microgravity only after it achieves orbit? (2 pts) 6 Name: ________________________ ID: C 38. A scientist performs the following experiment in a low friction environment. Assume that the experiment will be repeated in less “ideal” conditions where the effects of friction on the motion of the box cannot be ignored. Predict the effect that significant friction would have on the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline. Explain the cause of the predicted effect. (2 points) 7 ID: C Chapter12.

ANS: Answers will vary. Friction can be reduced. Momentum increased. PTS: 2 37. ANS: Prior to achieving orbit the shuttle is accelerating. Acceleration is causing a net force. Net force is transferred through the shuttle to the objects within it. PTS: 3 38. ANS: acceleration will be less because friction will slow the box down. PTS: 2 2
