51. Oliver the dog doesn't want to
walk in the rain. He can make his
owner pull harder on the leash to
get him out the door by
sitting on the vinyl floor.
sitting on the tile floor.
sitting on the carpeted floor.
sitting on the wood floor.
52. Pauline needs to measure the sliding friction of a
brick. How should she go about doing this?
attach the brick to a string and then to a spring
scale and read the force needed to quickly lift the
brick off the ground
drag the brick by a string attached to a spring scale
so that it gradually speeds up
drag the brick by a string attached to a spring scale
along the surface of a table at a constant speed and
read the force
hang the brick from a string attached to a spring
scale and read the force
53. Sliding friction-the drag
force created when the surface of
one object slides across the
surface of another object.Friction Lab

54. terminal velocity gravity will
accelerate an object until air
resistance (friction) does not
allow it to go any faster.
55. In the absence of air
resistance, which of these
objects will fall at the fastest rate
when dropped?
the ball with a mass of 75 kg
the ball with a mass of 25 kg
the ball with a mass of 10 kg
56. Pressure is the amount of force
exerted over a certain area.
Pressure = Force

63. All objects in the universe are
attracted to each other by the
force of
effort.
friction.
gravity.
inertia.
64. Four pairs of objects have the masses
shown below. If the objects in each pair
are the same distance apart, the
gravitational force between the objects
in which pair is greatest?
1 kilogram and 1 kilogram
1 kilogram and 2 kilograms
2 kilograms and 1 kilogram
2 kilograms and 2 kilograms
65. As an astronaut travels from Earth to a
space station orbiting Earth, what
happens to her mass and weight?
Her mass decreases, but her weight
remains the same.
Her mass increases as her weight
decreases.
Her mass remains the same, but her
weight decreases.
Her mass decreases and her weight
also decreases.
66. What causes “weightlessness”?
• Even in the space shuttle, there is a force
of attraction exerted by the earth on the
shuttle and its contents.
• When the space shuttle temporarily “falls”
toward the earth, the contents of the space
shuttle appear to be weightless, but in fact
they are falling with the space shuttle. This
is called “freefall”.
67. Which hill would you slide down
the fastest?
hill A
hill B
hill C
It would take the same time to
slide down all of the hills.
70. When an object is thrown into the air, two forces and
two motions affect the movement of the object.
The object may be thrown horizontally with a certain
force, but the vertical force of gravity combines to affect
the motion.
Slow projectile - shoot a Fast projectile - shoot a
monkey monkey
71. Centripetal force
The inward force
on a spinning object,
that stops it
from going in
a straight line.
Perpendicular
75. If you wuz ‘n a
Merry-go-round
& yuz let go,
Which wayz wud yu go?
76. A rocket moves forward when gases
expelled from the rear of the rocket push it
in the opposite direction. Hot gases are
propelled out of the back of a rocket
engine. The force of the gas in one
direction (action) produces an opposing
force (reaction) that propels the rocket
forward.
77. • 1. Heavy first stage provides thrust for launch.
• 2. First stage separates and falls to earth.
• 3. Second stage ignites and continues with
third stage.
• 4. Second stage separates and falls to earth.
• 5. Third Stage ignites.
• 6. Third stage is discarded.
• 7. Lunar vehicle proceeds to lunar orbit.
78. Satellites are used for
communications, navigation, collecting weather
data, and research, In addition, two-dozen Global
Positioning Satellites give off signals that can be
picked up by small receivers on earth. The
receiver can then tell you where you are on earth’s
surface.
Centripetal Force is acting to pull the satellite
toward the center and thereby keeps it moving in
a circular path.
