force in newtons of F = 3t2 – 4t where t is measured
in seconds. The object has velocity v = 7.0m/s, left

A 7.5kg shopping cart is accelerated up the incline at a rate of
1.4m/s2. Incline is angled at 13o and no friction is present.
A)Determine the value of the force, F, in the horizontal direction
(0o) needed to do this.
B)Determine value of normal force on cart
F
The diagram shows four choices for the direction of a force of
magnitude F to be applied to a block on an inclined plane. The
directions are either horizontal or vertical. (For choices a and
b, the force is not enough to lift the block off the plane.) Rank
the choices according to the magnitude of the normal force on
the block from the plane, greatest first.
Friction (f)
A force that acts parallel to surfaces in contact with
one another. Two types are kinetic and static.

SLIDING BLOCKS
A 10 kg block rests on top of a 40 kg slab which rests on
a frictionless floor. The coefficient of static and kinetic
friction between the block and the slab are 0.60 and
0.40 respectively. The block is pulled with a force of
100 N. What are the accelerations of (a) the block and
(b) the slab?
*Must first decide on whether the block will slide
relative to the slab?

There are times when the power rule is not
an option for use as an integration technique.
Example:
For times greater than 0, an object beginning at
the origin moves in one dimension according to
the following expression:

Find the distance traveled by the object during the
first 10 seconds.
Differential Equations
An equation that relates a quantity and its derivatives is
called a differential equation. In APC Physics, we only
need to be familiar with a few basic Diff E q’s. The
independent variable will always be time, t.
The acceleration of an object is given by the following
function:
a(t )  32  4v
Derive an expression for the velocity as a function of time
assuming initial conditions are that x = 0 and v = 4m/s at t=0.
EXAMPLE: The acceleration of a particle,
a = –1.2x–0.8x3 and when x = +5m, v = 4m/s.
Determine how far does the particle travel before
coming to rest? (note ‘a’ is given in terms of x)

A particle moves in one dimension with a
velocity as follows:

Find the displacement of the particle from t = 0 to t = 4s.
An object falls from rest from a large distance. Due to
gravity and air drag, the velocity of object follows the
equation: v(t) = 60 (1-e-t/10)

Centripetal Force, FC , is a special way to say FNET

motion, is it in equilibrium?
