S2 Physics 1st Exam Study Guide

This study guide covers Newton's three laws of motion. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Newton's second law relates force, mass, and acceleration. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The study guide provides examples of situations that illustrate each of Newton's three laws and formulas for calculating force, mass, and acceleration based on Newton's second law.

Study Guide

1. Newton’ s first law of motion states : Inertia - The resistance of any change in a
motion.
2. Newton’s second law of motion states : Fnet = m x a | a = Fnet / m | m = Fnet / a
3. Newton’s third law of motion states : Every action always occurs in pairs (Action -
Reaction).

Instructions: Each of the items below is best represented by one of Newton's Laws of Motion. Write a
1, 2 or 3 for each of the following to indicate whether it’s N ewton’s 1st , 2nd or 3rd law.

4. 3 A climber pulls down on a rope causing his body to lift upward and rise along the rope.
5. 2 Force= Mass x Acceleration
6. 3 Two bumper cars collide into each other and each car jolts backwards
7. 2 When you give your friend a lift on your bike you have to pedal harder and faster to keep
the same speed (acceleration) as you had when you were on your bike alone
8. 3 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
9. 2 A smaller cannon ball leaves a cannon much faster than a larger, heavier cannon ball fired
at the same time.
10. 1 When you are standing in a subway train and the train suddenly stops but your body
continues to move forward.
11. 2 It is much easier to carry your backpack when it is empty rather than when it’s full of
textbooks.
12. 1 A boy is going down a slide. As he reaches the bottom, friction causes him to slow down
and stop.
13. What is inertia? The resistance of any change in a motion.
14. Describe how mass and inertia are related. + Mass = + Inertia / - Mass = - Inertia
15. How does mass affect acceleration? Mass x Acceleration = Force
16. Kg measures: Mass
17. N measures: Force
18. M/s² measures: Acceleration
19. 1N: 1 m/s², 1 kg | 1 Newton | m x a
20. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81 N/kg and o n the Moon it is 1.62 N/kg.
21. What are the three formulas which describe the relationship between en mass, force and
acceleration?
| |
Fnet = m x a | a = Fnet / m | m = Fnet / a
| |
22. A force of 52 N acts upon a 4 kg block sitting on the ground. Calculate the acceleration of the
object.

52 N / 4 kg = 13 m/s²

23. A 5 kg block is pulled across a table by a force of 61 N. Calculate the acceleration of the
object.

61 N / 5 kg = 12.2 m/s²

24. A roller coaster pushes a 25 kg person upward with a force of 300 N. What is the acceleration?

300 N / 25 kg = 12 m/s²

25. An object of mass 10 kg is accelerated upward at 2 m/s² . What force is required?

2 m/s² x 10 kg = 20 Fnet | Answer = Fnet

26. What is the mass of an object if a force of 17 N causes it to accelerate at 1.5 m/s²?

17 N / 1.5 m/s² = 11.4 g

27. What is the acceleration of a 10 kg object if a force of 3 N is applied to it?

3 N / 10 kg = 0.3 m/s²

28. What is the mass of an object that requires a force of 25 N to accelerate at 5 m/s²?

25 N / 5 m/s² = 5 g
