Acceleration - how much faster it increases in m/s/s or m/s^2

A car travels from rest reaches a speed of 100 km/hr in 7.0 s. Acceleration?

7 A = 14.28 km/hr/s A 1 hr * 1 s * 3600 s * 1km A = 3.96m/s/s or m/s^2
A = 4.0 m/s/s or m/s^2 (sig digs of 2 {7 and 0})
Force - what is changing the motion of the object (measured in Newtons (N))
A mass of 1.50 kg is acceleration at 5.0m/s^2. What is the force?
F = acceleration * mass F = 5.0m/s2 * 1.50 kg F = 7.5 N
A sailboat with a mass of 845 kg has a force of 400 N applied to it. Acceleration?
F orce (N ) 400 N
F = acceleration * mass A = mass (Kg) A = 845 kg A = .473 m/s2
Work - measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the
direction of the displacement. (Measured in Joules (J))
You lift a barbell that weighs 345 n a distance of 35.0 cm. Work?
W = F orce (N ) * Distance ( metres) W = 345N * .35m W = 121J
A crane does 4114 J of work while lifting a 1766 N statue onto a pedestal. How high does the crane lift the statue?
W =F *D D = W 4114 J
F D = 1766 N D = 2.330m rounded from 2.329m
Potential Energy - stored energy, potential to do work (highest at the highest point)
If a 1.2 kg book falls from a 140 cm shelf to the 70 cm desk, what is the gravitational potential energy in its new position?
ep = mass(kg) * g ravity f orce (9.81m/s2) * height (m) E p = 1.2kg * 9.81m/s2 * (1.4m .7m) E p = 8.2 J
Kinetic Energy - energy in motion (highest at lowest point)
A bicycle racer, travelling at 25.0/s on a 10.0 kg bike, has 19.6 kJ of kinetic energy. What is the mass of the racer?

Conservation of Mechanical Energy - kinetic and potential energy added together
A weightlifter exerts a force of 883N on a barbell over a distance of .650m while doing one rep on a bench press. How much work did the
weightlifter do on the barbell?

While playing with toy cars, the 0.025kg car travels on a horizontal track with a velocity of 5.0m/s toward a small ramp you have built. What is the
max height above the track that the toy cat can reach?
A 200 kg cart is to be rolled up a 5.00m long incline that reaches a height on 2.00m high. 1. Avg force? 2. Velocity at btm?

Efficiency - useful energy to total energy in percent
An electric winch uses 3.78 x10^4 J of electrical energy to pull a boat onto a ramp. The boat and ramp is 635kg and it is pulled 3.20m up. What is
the efficiency?

For efficieny: use ep or ek Make sure you find ALL Word seconds don't count Speed = distance/time
formulas to get output energy types: (remember for sig digs (three seconds
energy the rollercoaster question) dosent count - 3 seconds
do)

Acceleration m/s^2 Scalar is magnitude Vector includes mag F - final km/h/s is equal to km/h*s
(speed, length) (usually speed) and I - initial
direction (displacement,
velocity, acceleration,
force)
