1. A car accelerates with a given force. Later the same car accelerates with 1/6 it's original
acceleration and it now has 1.4 times its earlier mass.
a. How does the car's later force compare with the its earlier force?
b. If its earlier force is 1523 N, then what is the car's later force?
2. How much force does the car exert if its mass is 1201 kg and the car goes from 5.4 m/s to
16.3 m/s in 107 meters?
3. What are Newton's 3 Laws and which ones are used in shaking a Catsup bottle to get the
Catsup out when it is "stuck" in the bottle.
4. An ice skater is spinning when she begins to draw in her arms. As she does this what
happens to her rate of spin? Which law does this fall under?
5. A 1027 kg car is resting at a stop light. The car moves with a force of 1528 N for 22 s.
Then the car travels at a constant velocity for 10 seconds. Finally, the car stops with force
of 4056 N. How much distance is traveled by the car during this journey?
ANSWERS
1. a) new force = 0.233
b) old force = 355.37 N
