PWC Final Review 2
Forces Covered Pages: 27-60
1. What is a force? Give some everyday examples.
2. What unit is used to measure force?
3. What are balanced forces? Give an example.
4. Explain inertia in your own terms. Give an example. How does this relate to
newtons 1st Law?
5. What major factor affects how much inertia an object has?
6. State Newtons 2nd Law of Motion:
7. What is gravity? What is the acceleration due to gravity?
8. What is Newtons 3rd law?
9. Give two examples for Action/Reaction pairs.
10. How much force does a 6700 kg cart have, accelerating at a rate of 84m/s2?
11. What is the mass of a falling ball if it hits the ground with a force of 5678 N?
12. What is the momentum of a car, with a mass of 1780kg traveling at 35 m/s?
13. How much does a 125.0 kg object weigh on Earth?
14. When a driver applies brakes quickly which of the following best explains why a
book on the seat keeps moving forward?
A. Gravity pushes the book forward.
B. There is no frictional force acting on the book.
C. The brakes apply a force to the car, but not to the book.
D. The book accelerates in the direction of the applied force.
15. If you push a book across a table, which of the following describes the reaction
force?
a. The book pushes on the table.
b. The book pushes on you.
c. The table pushes on the book.
d. You push on the table.
16. The diagram to the right shows three horizontal forces acting on an object.
Neglecting friction, what is the magnitude of force F, if the object remains at rest?
17. A 100-kg student kicks a 1.5-kg ball with a force of 450-N. What force does the
ball apply on the student? Justify your answer.
Density Pages covered- 191-216
1. Should a material have a higher or lower density in order to float in another
substance?
2. Which phase of matter generally has the greatest density? Why?
3. If the density of gold is 19.3 g/mL, what is the mass of 5mL of gold?
4. A 4mL sample of lead has a mass of 45.2 g/mL. What is its density?
5. An irregularly shaped solid object is placed into a graduated cylinder with 100mL
of water. It raises the level of the water to 243 mL. If its mass is 12g, what is its
density?
