    Turzas Physical Science Semester Exam Review Part Two

    Forces and Motion: Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration


    EQUATIONS:
    Speed:

    Velocity:

    Acceleration:

    Force:

    Sample Problems:
    A girl travels 20 miles on her bicycle. The trip takes 2 hours. Express her speed in miles/hr.
    1. First, we identify the variables in our problem:
    distance (d) = 20 miles
    time (t) = 2 hours
    2. We place the variables in their correct position in the speed formula
    S = d/t
    S = 20 mi/2 hour
    3. Perform the calculation and express the resulting speed value with the appropriate unit:
    S = 10 mi/hr
    A car starts from a stoplight and is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/sec east in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration of
    the car?
    1. First we identify the information that we are given in the problem:
    vf - 10 m/sec
    vo - 0 m/sec
    time - 20 seconds
    2. Then we insert the given information into the acceleration formula:
    a = (vf - vo)/t
    a = (10 m/sec - 0 m/sec)/20 sec
    3. Solving the problem gives an acceleration value of 0.5 m/sec 2.

    force
    Force push or pull
    Centripetal Force force keeping objects moving in a circle
    Gravity pull of objects in the universe pull determined by mass and distance
    Newtons Three Laws of Motion 1st: Law of Inertia (see Inertia definition); 2nd: Force=mass x acceleration;
    3rd: For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction
