Question 8 (1 point)

Why does a skydiver accelerate as she falls to the earth before opening her chute?

Question 8 options:

because fewer forces are present to slow her down as she drops

because she loses mass during her travel

because she gets further from the airplane

because the force of the earth pulls on her

Question 9 (1 point)

A wayward communications satellite is equal distance from the Earth and the moon. Which of these statements is true?

Question 9 options:

The gravitational pull of the moon would be larger.

There wouldn't be any gravitational force acting upon the satellite.

The gravitational force or pull acting on the satellite will be larger from the Earth.

The object will not move because the gravitational pull of the moon and the Earth cancel each other out.

Question 10 (1 point)

Determine the weight of an average physical science textbook whose mass is 3.1 kilograms. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2

Question 10 options:

3.1 Newtons

30.4 Newtons

0.32 Newtons

6.82 Newtons

We can find the distance traveled by multiplying the velocity by the time interval. Distance = Velocity x Time. In this case, Distance = 8 m/s 10 s = 80 meters.

Question 2: 2 hours

Shannon traveled 140 miles at 70 miles per hour. Time = Distance / Rate. So, Time = 140 miles / 70 mph = 2 hours.

Question 3: 5.7 m/s^2

We can use the formula a = (v - u) / t, where a is acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity (0 m/s in this case), and t is time. So, a = (20 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3.5 s = 5.7 m/s^2.

Question 4: The person applying a force to the boat pushing it backward.

This is an example of Newton's third law of motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the person pushes off the boat forward (action), and the boat pushes back on the person with an equal force in the opposite direction (reaction).

Question 5: 8 m/s

Relative velocity is the difference between two velocities. Since you're both moving in the same direction, we simply subtract your velocity from Carol's velocity. So, relative velocity = 18 m/s - 10 m/s = 8 m/s (Carol is moving 8 m/s faster than you).

Question 6: A gun moves backward while firing a bullet.

This is another example of Newton's third law. When the gun fires the bullet forward (action), the gun recoils backward with an equal and opposite force (reaction).

Question 7: Newton's second law

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The lighter truck has less mass, and with the same force applied (engine power), it will experience a greater acceleration according to F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration).

Question 8: Because the force of the Earth pulls on her

Gravity from the Earth pulls the skydiver downward, causing her to accelerate.

Question 9: The gravitational pull of the Earth will be larger.

The Earth's mass is significantly larger than the moon's mass. Gravitational force is proportional to mass, so the Earth will exert a stronger gravitational pull on the satellite.

Question 10: 30.4 Newtons

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, Weight = 3.1 kg 9.8 m/s^2 = 30.4 Newtons.
