Physics Practice Acceleration and Simple Machines Name: _____________________ Formulas gravitational constant = 9.

.81 m/s circumference = () (diameter) speed = (distance) / (time) velocity = (displacement) / (time) acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time) force = (mass) (acceleration) force = (mass) (gravitational constant) work = (force) (distance) TMA = (distance out) / (distance in) AMA = (force out) / (force in) efficiency = [(AMA) / (TMA)] x 100% Problem 1 A runner covers one lap of a circular track, which is 40.0 m in diameter, in 62.5 s. For that lap, what was his average speed? What was his average velocity? Problem 2 A car traveling 70 km/hr comes to a stop at 120 m. Find the car's acceleration. Be sure your final answer is in m/s. Problem 3 A 900 kg crate must be lifted 10.0 m into the second story of a building. How much work must be done to move the crate? A block and tackle is used instead and an effort force of 4000 N is applied to lift the crate at a constant speed. If 25 m of rope is pulled through the block and tackle system, what is its efficiency?
