Bin Ham School C2&C3: Capter: 4 Forces in One Dimension

The document is a worksheet for a 10th grade physics class on forces in one dimension. It contains 3 thinking critically questions: 1. It explains that mass stays the same anywhere, but weight depends on gravitational force. Weight would be different on Mars due to its different gravity. 2. As an elevator slows to a stop, your apparent weight decreases because the downward acceleration causes a net downward force. 3. For a boat pulled at constant speed across the beach, there are two horizontal forces (pulling and drag) and two vertical forces (gravity and buoyancy) acting, but they balance out so there is no net force on the boat.

KEY
Thinking Critically
1. The weight of any object is equal to the product of the object’s mass and the gravitational field.
Mass does not change, but weight is dependent upon the gravitational force. The gravitational
force on Mars is different from the gravitational force on Earth, so objects would have the same
mass on Mars but a different weight.
2. As the elevator slows, your acceleration is in the direction opposite to your velocity. The
direction of the acceleration of the elevator is down. Thus the net force on you is downward.
Your apparent weight is equal to an upward force equal to your weight plus the net force acting
on you. In this case, the net force is downward, so your apparent weight would be Fg  Fnet. Your
apparent weight would decrease.
3. No, there is no net force on the boat because it has neither vertical nor horizontal acceleration.
