1. (1)Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling object?

2. (1)How far will a freely falling object fall from a rest position in five seconds

3. (3)Does a 2-kg iron block have twice as much inertia as a 1 kg block of iron?
Twice as much mass? Twice as much volume? Twice as much weight (when
weighed in the same location?

4. (1)If you were in a spaceship and fired a cannon into frictionless space, how much
force would have to be exerted on the ball to keep it going?

5. (2)Can you shoot a gun in space? Will the bullet be going the same speed as on
earth?
 6. (1)If a heavy person and a light person parachute together from the same altitude
and each wear the same size parachute, who will reach the ground first and why?

(1)Which has a greater terminal velocity?

(1)What could you do to make the terminal velocities equal?

7. Are the forces balanced in the below diagrams?

A (1)

B. (1)

C. (1)

D. (1)

8. (8) Free-body diagrams for four situations are shown below. The net
force is known for each situation. However, the magnitudes of a few of
the individual forces are not known. Analyze each situation individually
and determine the magnitude of the unknown forces. Then click the

9. (4)An applied force of 50 N is used to accelerate an object to the

right across a frictional surface. The object encounters 10 N of friction.
Use the diagram to determine the normal force, the net force, the
mass, and the acceleration of the object. (Neglect air resistance.)

10. (1)Edwardo applies a 4.25-N rightward force to a 0.765-kg book to accelerate it

across a table top. Determine the acceleration of the book.

11. (2)Explain this diagram
