Answer: B. 1. Find force of gravity Fg = m * a(g) Fg = 10 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 F(g) = 98 N 2. Find the value of the parallel component of Fg Angle between perpendicular component and Fg is equal to the angle of the incline, which is 30°. sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse sin(30) = Fg(parallel)/98 N sin(30) = 0.5 98 N * 0.5 = Fg(parallel) Fg(parallel) = 49 N We need 49 N in the opposite direction of Fg(parallel) to counter the force of the component.

A 10 kg wagon rests on a frictionless inclined plane. This plane makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Approximately how large is the force required to keep the wagon from sliding down the plane? A. 10 N B. 49 N C. 85 N D. 98 N

The point that connects the three strings is stationary, meaning that it will not accelerate. Therefore, the system is balanced, and there is no net force acting on the weight. The 100 N weight is exerting a gravitational force, meaning that the T1 string will be exerting a force of tension of 100 N downward from the stationary point. T1 = 100 N Since the downward force in this system is 100 N, that means the total upward force in the system is 100 N as well. Now we break both string vectors down into their vector components. However, we do not have to worry about that for T2. Since T2 is attached to the wall, it has no y-component, meaning that it will not exhibit any upward force in the system. This means that T3 will exhibit all of the upward force exhibited in the system, meaning that the magnitude of the y-component will equal 100 N. Using this, we can find the magnitude of T3. Remember that the angle between the string and the ceiling will also equal to the angle formed by the string and its x-component. sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse sin(30) = 100 N/T3 T3 = 100 N/sin(30) sin(30) = 1/2 or 0.5 T3 = 100 N/0.5 T3 = 200 N Since the stationary point is not exhibiting any net force, that means we know that the horizontal forces are balanced (equaling zero). To find the value of T2, we must determine the x-component of T3. cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse cos(30) = T3x/200 N cos(30) = sqrt(3)/2 200 N * sqrt(3)/2 = T3x T3x = 100 sqrt(3) N T3x = T2 T2 = 100 sqrt(3) N Values of tension: T1 = 100 N T2 = 200 N T3 = 100 sqrt(3) N

A 100 N weight is attached to a string, and that string is attached to two other strings, where one string is attached to the wall, and the other is attached to the ceiling. The angle formed by the T3 string and the ceiling is 30°. What is the tension in the three strings?

Assuming g = 10 m/s^2, find the following: (Note: sin(37°) = 0.6; cos(37°) = 0.8) a) The projectile's total time in flight b) The total horizontal distance traveled

Answer: C. We only need to analyze the motion in the vertical dimensions to answer this question. If both the rock and ball began with no vertical velocity, they would reach the ground at the same time. However, because the rock begins with an upward component of velocity, it will take time to reach a maximum height before falling back toward the ground. Functionally, the rock's free fall thus starts higher and later than the ball's. The rock will necessarily hit the ground after the ball.

A rock (m = 2 kg) is shot up vertically at the same time that a ball (m = 0.5 kg) is projected horizontally. If both start from the same height: A. the rock and ball will reach the ground at the same time. B. the rock will reach the ground first. C. the ball will reach the ground first. D. the rock and ball will collide in the air before reaching the ground.

A rock is falling from the sky with a force of 5 N, but meets a bit of air resistance of 1 N. Is there a net force acting on that rock? If so, what is the net force acting on the rock.

No, there is no net force acting on the rock. According to Newton's 3rd Law, as the rock is exerting a weight of 5 N onto the ground, the ground is exerting a normal force of 5 N onto the rock.

A rock is resting on the ground and is exerting a force of 5 N on the ground; the ground is also exerting a normal force of 5 N on the rock. Is there a net force acting on the rock? If so, what is the net force acting on the rock?

No, there is no net force acting on the rock. Since all the forces canceled each other out (gravity and normal force cancel out, and push and friction cancels each other out), there is no net force.

A rock is resting on the ground and is exerting a force of 5 N on the ground; the ground is also exerting a normal force of 5 N on the rock. A man is pushing the rock with a force of 2 N to the right, with a friction force of 2 N that opposed it. Is there a net force acting on that rock? If so, what is the net force acting on the rock.

Yes, there is a net force acting on the rock. The normal force and force of gravity cancels each other out, but the force the man is pushing with against the rock is greater than the force of friction. 3 N - 2 N = 1 N 1 N to the right

A rock is resting on the ground and is exerting a force of 5 N on the ground; the ground is also exerting a normal force of 5 N on the rock. A man is pushing the rock with a force of 3 N to the right, with a friction force of 2 N that opposed it. Is there a net force acting on that rock? If so, what is the net force acting on the rock.

Yes, there is a net force acting on the rock. Normal force and force of gravity cancel each other out. 4 N from the man pushing right 2 N from friction 1 N from the man pushing left 4 N - 2 N - 1 N = 1 N to the right 1 N to the right

A rock is resting on the ground and is exerting a force of 5 N on the ground; the ground is also exerting a normal force of 5 N on the rock.

Another man is pushing the rock in the opposite direction of the first man with a force of 1 N. Is there a net force acting on that rock? If so, what is the net force acting on the rock.

Answer: A. Calorimeters are our best approximations of isolated systems, where neither energy nor matter is exchanged with the environment. By failing to use an insulating layer and failing to fully contain the system, heat can be exchanged with the environment and matter may be dispersed, creating an open system.

She was trying to create a closed system but created an open system instead. D. She was trying to create a closed system but created an isolated system instead.

The weight attached to the string is not accelerating, which means that there is no net forces acting on the weight. This means that the force of tension is counteracting the force of gravity being exerted on the weight. Since the weight is exerting a force of 100 N downward, it means that the string is exhibiting a force of tension of 100 N upward.

A weight of 100 N is suspended in the air by a string attached to the ceiling. What would be the force of tension of the string?

Answer: A. The forces on the elevator are the tension upward and the weight downward, so the net force on the elevator is the difference between the two. For the elevator to accelerate upwards, the tension in the cable will have to be greater than the maximum weight so that there is a net force directed upwards.

An elevator is designed to carry a maximum weight of 9800 N (including its own weight), and to move upward at a speed of 5 m/s after an initial period of acceleration.

Answer: A. Vf = Vo + aΔt a = -9.8 m/s^2 Δt = 2 s First object: Vo = -5 m/s Since object is being thrown in the same direction as gravity, so velocity is negative Vf = -5 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2) * 2 s Vf = -24.6 m/s |-24.6 m/s| - |-5 m/s| = 19.6 m/s Second object: Vo = +10 m/s Since object is being thrown in the opposite direction of gravity, so velocity is positive. Vf = 10 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2) * 2 Vf = -9.6 m/s |-9.6 m/s| - | -10 m/s| = 0.4 m/s 19.6 m/s > 0.4 m/s The first object has a greater change in speed

At a place where g = 9.8 m/s^2, an object is thrown vertically downward with a speed of 5 m/s while a different object is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 10 m/s.

Both objects undergo the same change ins speed D. It cannot be determined from the information given

The product of sine and cosine is maximized when the angle is 45°. Because horizontal displacement relies on both measurements, the maximum horizontal displacement will also be achieved at this angle.

Can a moving object be in equilibrium? Why or why not?

Answer: C. Because the question stem indicates that centrifugal force is reactionary and gives its direction, we can draw the conclusion that it is a reaction to the centripetal force. According to Newton's third law, these forces must have equal magnitude and opposite direction (antiparallel).

Since the planet has no rotation, and the block has no relative motion towards the planet, and it is not accelerating in any direction, the net forces acting on the block must equal zero. Therefore, the gravitational force and the normal force must equal each other if the net force is zero.

Consider the following scenario: A planet known as Lubricon VI is a planet that is made of a yet-to-be-discovered element called Lubrica, which is said to be frictionless. The planet is perfectly spherical, it has no rotation, and it has no atmosphere (it is surrounded by a complete vacuum). If a block of ice is stationary on the planet, will the normal force and gravitational force equal to each other.

There is no net forces acting on the block, meaning there is no acceleration acting on the block. Therefore, the block will continue moving along the "equator" forever in the direction of the velocity.

Consider the following scenario: A planet known as Lubricon VI is a planet that is made of a yet-to-be-discovered element called Lubrica, which is said to be frictionless. The planet is perfectly spherical, it has no rotation, and it has no atmosphere (it is surrounded by a complete vacuum). If a block of ice is travelling around the planet's "equator" at a constant velocity of 1 km/hr, will the block stop moving at a certain period of time?

If there were no net forces acting on the block, the block would not stay on the planet's surface. In order for the block to stay on the planet's surface, there needs to be a little bit of centripetal force acting on the block as it rotates around the planet. Thus, the centripetal acceleration will cause the force of gravity to be greater than the normal force acting on the block.

Consider the following scenario: A planet known as Lubricon VI is a planet that is made of a yet-to-be-discovered element called Lubrica, which is said to be frictionless. The planet is perfectly spherical, it has no rotation, and it has no atmosphere (it is surrounded by a complete vacuum). If a block of ice moves along the planet's surface at a constant velocity of 1 km/hr, is the normal force equal to the gravitational force?

The change of total internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of heat transferred to the system plus the amount of work exerted on the system. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can just be converted from one form to another.

When two objects come into thermal contact with one another, thermal energy will spontaneously flow from the hotter object to the cooler object, until thermal equilibrium is achieved. In a closed system, energy will spontaneously and irreversibly go from being localized to being spread out (dispersed).

Objects that we see moving at a constant velocity in our everyday life are actually being interfered with various forces in our everyday life, such as friction, air resistance, and gravity.

Despite what Newton's first law says, we do not see objects that are moving at a constant velocity keep moving, we instead see these objects slow down. Why is that?

Yes, it does. Gravity exists between any two objects. However, gravity is typically only significant on a planetary level, since smaller scale gravity between objects is so small compared to other forces acting, that it is considered to be negligible.

Does gravity exist between your notebook and your hand? Explain your reasoning.

No, an isobaric process will still be represented by the equation: ΔU = Q + W

Does the equation for the first law of thermodynamics change if the process is isobaric? If yes, what changes?

Yes, the equation does change if the process is isochoric. An isochoric process is defined as a process in which the volume of the system does not change. This would mean that: ΔV = 0 If ΔV is zero, then regardless of what the value of the pressure is, the value of the work will equal zero. W = 0 Since work will equal zero in an isochoric process, the value of the change in internal energy will equal the value of heat added/removed to/from the system. ΔU = Q

Does the equation for the first law of thermodynamics change if the process is isochoric? If yes, what changes?

Yes, the equation does change if the process is isothermal. An isothermal process is defined as a process in which the temperature in the system does not change. Which means: ΔT = 0 Since temperature is proportional to internal energy then that means that the change in internal energy will not change either. In other words: ΔU = 0 This means that heat and work must be equal in magnitude but in opposite directions (one value is positive while the other value is negative). So this would mean that: I Q I = I W I

Does the equation for the first law of thermodynamics change if the process is isothermal? If yes, what changes?

Yes, the equation does change if the process is adiabatic. An adiabatic process is defined as a process in which there is no net flow of heat between the system and the surroundings. Therefore: Q = 0 Since the value of heat is equal to zero, the change in internal energy of the system will be determined by the work done on/by the system. ΔU = W

Does the equation for the first law of thermodynamics change if the process was adiabatic? If yes, what changes?

No, temperature is constant when an object undergoes a phase change.

Does the temperature of an object change when it undergoes a phase change?

1st: Prior to the collision, the vehicle is traveling at a constant velocity, which indicates that there is no acceleration and no unbalanced net force. 2nd: The collision with the wall creates a sudden deceleration. Because there is acceleration, there must be a net force. The value of the net force can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the car times the acceleration. 3rd: When the car collides with the wall, the car exerts a force on the wall. Simultaneously, the wall exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the car.

Answer: B. To understand this question, make sure you understand all the terms. An adiabatic process means that there is no exchange of heat; in other words, Q = 0. When a gas is compressed, positive work is being done on the gas (instead of by the gas), so the value of work done on the gas will be positive (W > 0). Based on this, we can determine how the internal energy of the gas changes by using the first law of thermodynamics (ΔU = Q + W) If Q = 0, and W is positive, then ΔU is positive.

In an adiabatic compression process, the internal energy of the gas: A. increases, because the work done on the gas is negative. B. increases, because the work done on the gas is positive. C. decreases because the work done on the gas is negative. D. decreases because the work done on the gas is positive.

Tangent

In circular motion, the instantaneous velocity vector is always ________________ to the circular path.

Answer: B. When the ink randomly intersperses throughout the water, the final state is more disordered than the initial state, so the entropy change of the system is positive. When the oil separates from the water, the final state is just as ordered as the initial state (because the oil and the water are still completely separate), so the entropy change is zero. You can also answer this question by noticing the reversibility of the two experiments. Experiment A has a positive entropy change because it is irreversible, while experiment B has no entropy change because the reaction is reversible. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the overall entropy change of a system and its surroundings can never be negative in a thermodynamic process that moves from one equilibrium state to another.

In experiment A, a student mixes ink with water and notices that the two liquids mix evenly. In experiment B, the student mixes oil with water; in this case, the liquids separate into two different layers. The entropy change is: A. positive in experiment A and negative in experiment B B. positive in experiment A and zero in experiment B C. negative in experiment A and positive in experiment B D. zero in experiment A and negative in experiment B.

With this in mind, you must take the most massive thing that you are carrying at the time, and throw that object in the opposite direction. By throwing an object in that direction, you are exerting force on that object, which also leads to the object exerting an equal and opposite force on you, which will cause you to accelerate in the opposite direction that the object was thrown.

Answer: B. The entropy of a system can decrease as long as the entropy of its surroundings increases by at least as much. On the other hand, the entropy of an isolated system increases for all (irreversible) processes. This adheres to the second law of thermodynamics, which says that energy will be dispersed and entropy of the universe will remain constant or increase during all processes.

The entropy of a system can: A. never decrease. B. decrease when the entropy of the surroundings increases by at least as much. C. decrease when the system is isolated and the process is irreversible. D. decrease during an adiabatic reversible process.

Answer: C. In this situation, heat will transfer from the warm gas to the metal and then to the cold gas. Convection requires flow of a fluid to cause heat transfer, invalidating (B) as an answer. In this case, the gas is not flowing, but rather is in contact with the metal. (A) is an invalid answer because heat transfer through radiation, is also implausible not only because gases are unlikely to emit heat in the form of waves, but also because the radiation would be unlikely to penetrate the thick metal containers, Enthalpy, (D), is not a form of heat transfer. Conduction, (C), is the most likely option; it happens when two substances make direct contact with one another. Here, gas A makes contact with the metal container, which makes contact with gas B.

True An unbalanced force is the net force acting on the object. So the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

True or False An object acted on by an unbalanced force will always accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force.

True Object will not move if no forces are acting upon the object or if the forces acting on the object is balanced.

True or False An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

True This statement is in accordance with Newtons first law of motion.

True or False An object in motion will maintain its speed and direction forever unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

False Seems consistent with everyday life; however, if we do not account for any of the other minor forces that interferes with the velocity of an object, then the object will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon.

True or False An object in motion will slow down unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force in the direction of motion.

False Mass and weight are not the same measurement. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the measure of gravitational force on an object's mass.

True or False Mass and weight represent the same measurement.

False According to Newton's 3rd law, forces are always reciprocal in nature. When the Earth exerts a force on a person, the person also exerts a force of the same magnitude on the Earth (in the opposite direction).

True or False The Earth creates a larger force on you than you create on the Earth.

False If an unbalanced force is applied to the same direction as the object's movement, direction will not change. An unbalanced force can change the direction of a moving object, but this is not always the case.

True or False. An unbalanced force on an object will always change the object's direction.

False An unbalanced force on the body will always impact the object's VELOCITY, not speed. Speed is the magnitude of velocity; while an unbalanced force usually does change the speed, this is not always the case.

True or False. An unbalanced force on the body will always impact the object's speed.

True If an object was moving through a space at a constant velocity with no forces acting on it, then the velocity will not change.

True or False. If the net force on a body is zero, its velocity will not change.

True Forces like friction, air resistance, and gravity are responsible for why objects do not continue to move at a constant velocity in our everyday life.

True or False. The reason why initially moving objects tend to come to a rest in our "everyday" life is because they are being acted on by an unbalanced force.

False. This would be true of an addition problem in which both vectors have equal magnitude, but it is never true for vector multiplication. To find the direction of C, we must use the right-hand rule. If the thumb points in the direction of A, and the fingers point in the direction of B, then our palm, C, points out of the page.

True or false. If C = A x B, where A is directed towards the right side of the page and B is directed to the top of the page, then C is directed mid-way between A and B at a 45° angle?

True, displacement considers the most direct route between two points. Distance will always be equal or larger in magnitude than displacement.

True or false: Total distance traveled can never be less than the total displacement.

Answer: A. Because there is essentially only empty space between the Sun and the Earth, the only means of heat transfer is by radiation - electromagnetic waves that propagate across space. When a metal spoon is placed in a pot of hot soup, the molecules in the soup collide with those on the surface of the spoon, thereby transferring heat by conduction. Finally, fire warms the air above it, and the warmed air is less dense than the surrounding air, so it rises. A rising column of warm air means that heat is being transported in the air mass, which is simply the process of convection. The smoke particles ride along with the upward moving air current and create a plume of smoke.

Which of the following choices correctly identifies the following three heat transfer processes? I. Heat transferred from the Sun to the Earth II. A metal spoon heating up when placed in a pot of hot soup III. A rising plume of smoke from a fire A. I. Radiation, II. Conduction III. Convection B. I. Conduction II. Radiation III. Convection C. I. Radiation II. Convection III. Conduction D. I. Convection II. Conduction III. Radiation

Answer: B. State functions are any that are independent of the path taken to achieve a given state and which are not themselves defined as a process, such as pressure, density, temperature, volume, enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy. Heat and work are process functions that are pathway dependent.

Which of the following is not a state function? A. Internal energy B. Heat C. Temperature D. Entropy

Answer: C. If a substance is undergoing a phase change, any added heat will be used toward overcoming the heat of transformation of the phase change. During the phase change, the temperature will remain constant. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules in a sample, so a change in kinetic energy (A) is essentially the same thing as a change in temperature. The heat transfer by radiation described in (B) will definitely change the temperature of the solid as long as it is not in the process of melting. (D) Describes heat transfer by convection, in which the warm gas will transfer heat to the cold gas until they both reach an intermediate temperature.

Which of the following processes is least likely to be accompanied by a change in temperature? A. The kinetic energy of a gas is increased through a chemical reaction B. Energy is transferred to a solid via electromagnetic waves C. A boiling liquid is heated on a hot plate D. A warm gas is mixed with a cool gas

Answer: D. A vector is characterized by both magnitude and direction. From the given answer choices, all are vectors except for distance. Distance is a scalar because it has only a numerical value and lacks direction.

Which of the following quantities is not a vector? A. Velocity B. Force C. Displacement D. Distance

Answer: B. The presence of friction does not change the impact of Newton's laws. A net force must still be applied to cause motion. This net force is not necessarily equal to an applied force, as friction and gravity also acts on the object; thus, statement I is eliminated. Static friction opposes the movement of stationary objects, and is necessarily greater than the force of kinetic friction; thus statement II is correct. Statement III is false because the normal force is related to mass, and friction is related to the normal force.

Which of the following statements is true of movement on a plane with friction? I. Acceleration is a function of applied force only II. More force is needed to accelerate a stationary object than an identical moving object III. The force of friction is independent of the mass of objects A. I only B. II only C. I and II only D. I and III only

Gases are considered the worst heat conductors because of the amount of space that exists between gas particles. This space between individual molecules causes energy-transferring collisions to occur relatively infrequently.

Why are gases considered to be the worst heat conductors?

Metals are the best heat conductors because of the free movement of electrons in metals due to metallic bonds. This sea of electrons allows for rapid energy transfer in metals.

Why are metals considered to be the best heat conductors?

The average velocity is equal to the ratio of displacement over the change in time Δx/Δt, while average speed is the ratio of the total distance traveled over a change of time Δd/Δt.

Why is average speed not always equal to average velocity?

Because of how high the specific heat of water is, it is able to absorb a lot of heat, and barely change that much in temperature.
