    Study Notes

    Motion and Acceleration

    • A bike accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 5.0 m/s in 4.5 s, then travels at a constant speed for another 4.5 s.
    • The total distance traveled by the bike can be calculated using the given acceleration and time.

    Reaction and Stopping

    • A car traveling at 20 m/s takes 0.80 s to react, then slows at 7.0 m/s2 before stopping.
    • The distance traveled by the car before it stops can be calculated using the given reaction time and deceleration.

    Acceleration and Direction

    • A car coasts backwards downhill at 3.0 m/s, then starts moving uphill at 4.5 m/s after 2.5 s.
    • The car's average acceleration can be calculated assuming uphill is the positive direction.

    Deceleration and Time

    • A car slows from 22 m/s to 3.0 m/s at a constant rate of 2.1 m/s2.
    • The time required for the car to reach 3.0 m/s can be calculated using the given deceleration.

    Acceleration from Rest

    • An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2 for 30.0 s.
    • The distance traveled and final speed of the airplane can be calculated using the given acceleration and time.

    Free Fall

    • A brick is dropped from a high scaffold and accelerates at 9.8 m/s2.
    • The velocity and distance fallen by the brick can be calculated using the given time.

    Projectile Motion

    • A tennis ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 22.5 m/s.
    • The maximum height reached and time in the air can be calculated using the given initial speed.

    Falling Objects

    • A bag is dropped from a hovering helicopter and accelerates at 9.8 m/s2.
    • The velocity and distance fallen by the bag can be calculated using the given time.

    Force and Friction

    • A boy exerts a 36 N horizontal force as he pulls a 52 N sled across a cement sidewalk at a constant speed.
    • The coefficient of friction between the sidewalk and the metal sled runners can be calculated using the given forces.

    Lifting and Tension

    • A 50 kg bucket is lifted by a rope with a maximum tension of 500 N.
    • The rope's tension and the bucket's acceleration can be calculated using the given mass and lift distance.

    Forces and Action-Reaction Pairs

    • A car brakes to a halt, and the forces acting on it are the frictional force and the normal force.
    • The reaction forces to these forces are exerted on the road and the braking system.

    Lift and Propellers

    • A 4500 kg helicopter accelerates upward at 2.0 m/s2.
    • The lift force exerted by the air on the propellers can be calculated using the given mass and acceleration.

    Friction and Coefficient

    • A force of 40.0 N accelerates a 5.0 kg block at 6.0 m/s2 along a horizontal surface.
    • The frictional force and coefficient of friction can be calculated using the given force and acceleration.

    Springs and Stretching

    • A spring is stretched by a mass hooked to the end, with a spring constant of 7.5 N/m.
    • The amount of stretching can be calculated using the given mass and spring constant.

    Catching and Force

    • A baseball is caught, and its speed goes from 30.0 m/s to 0.0 m/s in about 0.0050 s.
    • The baseball's acceleration, force, and direction of force can be calculated using the given speed and time.

    Weight and Gravitational Field

    • A 1.25 kg book in space has a weight of 8.35 N.
    • The value of the gravitational field at that location can be calculated using the given weight and mass.
