Physics 1010Exam #1 reviewGeneral Test Information 7:30 tonight in this room (G1B20). Closed book. Single 3x5 note card with own notes writtenon it allowed. Calculators are allowed (no memory usage). Worth 40 points total. Multiple choice plus one long hand question.Concept Overview Kinematics - velocity, acceleration, etc. Dynamics – Newton’s laws Forces of interest – gravity, friction, andsprings If you are comfortable with these concepts,you can handle any problem on the test!Velocity Velocity is the changeof an object’s positionwith respect to time. x is position, v isvelocity.txv!!=01234567890 s 1 s 2 s 3 s 4 sTimePositionVelocity is the slope!Acceleration Acceleration is the changeof an object’s velocity withrespect to time. v is velocity, a isacceleration.tva!!=00.511.522.50 s 1 s 2 s 3 s 4 sTimeVelocityAcceleration is the slope!Kinematic Equations of Motion Velocity as a function of time:Similarly for position:v = v0 + atx = x0 + v0t + (1/2) at2Newton’s Second Law Fundamental equation of dynamics:F = m a A quantitative generalization of Newton’sfirst law. Acceleration is in the same direction as netforce.Newton’s First Law An object that is not subject to any outsideforces moves at a constant velocity. When an object is not accelerating, it can stillbe subject to external forces, but the net forcevanishes. In the object’s frame of reference, there’s noway to distinguish uniform motion fromsitting still.Newton’s Third Law For every force that one objects exerts on asecond object, there is an equal and oppositeforce that the second object exerts on the first. This does not apply to two forces acting onthe same object.Gravity Objects of different masses fall at the samerate. The gravitational force on an object must beproportional to its mass.2/ 8.9 smgmgFgravity!=Friction Frictional forces oppose motion. Two types: static and sliding. Sliding friction force is generally smallerthan weight force. Friction forces on an object are related to theweight force on the object.Springs Hooke’s law:kxFspring!= The spring force is a restoring forceproportional to the displacement of theobject. Spring constant k depends on the type ofspring.Clicker Question 1At t=0 s, a 0.5 kg ball is thrown straight up with an initialvelocity of 20 m/s. At what time will it reach its maximumheight?A. 0.0 sB. 0.707 sC. 1.0 sD. 2.04 sAnswer: (+ is up) vf=vi+at vf=0, vi=20m/s, a=-9.8m/s2: D (+ is down) vf=vi+at vf=0, vi=-20m/s, a=9.8m/s2: DClicker Question 2A. 61.2 mB. 40.1 mC. 20.4 mD. 54.3 mAnswer: x=xi+vit+(1/2)at2 xi=0, vi=20m/s, a=-9.8m/s2, t=2.04s CAt t=0 s, a 0.5 kg ball is thrown straight up with an initialvelocity of 20 m/s. What is the maximum hight it reaches (+is up)?Clicker Question 3At t=0 s, a 0.5 kg ball is thrown straight up with an initialvelocity of 20 m/s. At what height is the ball when its velocityis half its initial value?A. 10.2 mB. 15.3 mC. 4.9 mD. 18.6 mAnswer: vf=vi+at vf=10m/s, vi=20m/s, a=-9.8m/s2, t=1.02s x=xi+vit+(1/2)at2 xi=0, vi=20m/s, a=-9.8m/s2, t=1.02sBKinematics Tips Pick a positive direction Make sure all your values have the correctsign If question is composite FIND TIME FIRSTClicker Question 4A woman hangs a 1 kg mass on the end of a spring with k =200 N/m. How far does the spring stretch from its positionbefore the mass was suspended? (disregard the sign)A. About 2 cm.B. About 5 cm.C. About 10 cm.D. With such a large spring constant, it would hardly move.Answer: mg=-kx, x=-mg/k=-0.049m=-4.9cm BClicker Question 5A. 9.8 m/s2.B. 0 m/s2.C. 8.9 m/s2.D. 0.89 m/s2.Answer: mg=(M+m)a, a=mg/(M+m) DF =mgM = 1 kgm = 0.1 kgA cart of mass of 1kg is attached to a hanging weight of mass0.1kg. They accelerate at:Clicker Question 6Answer: AYou are pushing a cart up a ramp. Which vector best represents:The direction of the force of gravity on the cart.Clicker Question 7Answer: DYou are pushing a cart up a ramp. Which vector best represents:The direction of the force the surface of the ramp exerts on the cart.Clicker Question 8Answer: EYou are pushing a cart up a ramp. Which vector best represents:The direction of the force of gravity and the force that the surface of the ramp exerts on the cart, added
