How far will an object in free fall fall in five seconds? 

125m

100

Describe mechanical advantage.

MA is equal to the output force divided by the input force. (Length divided by height). 

100

a Newton

The force required to move a 1 kg object 1 meter. 

200

Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of falling objects? 

Decreases. 

200

What is the efficiency of a machine that requires 100j of energy to do 35 j of work? 

35%

200

The Conservation of Momentum.

Momentum is always equal before and after a collision. The momentum of a system is always unchanged provided there is no outside influence. 

300

Calculate the speed of a bowling ball that moves 8 meters in 4 seconds.

2 m/s

300

What is the potential energy of a 1 kg book lifted 4m? g = 10m

40 J

300

Newtons' Third Law

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The two together are an interaction. 

400

Calculate the speed of a skateboarder who accelerates from rest for 3 seconds down a ramp at an acceleration of 5 m/s^2.

15 m/s

400

What is the power expended when a 20 N force pushes a cart 3.5 m in 0.5 seconds? 

140 W

400

What is impulse? 

i = ft

500

Calculate the vertical distance an object dropped from rest would cover in 12 seconds if it fell freely. 

720M
