Worksheet On Force

Car A with a mass of 750 kg would require a force of 1500 N to accelerate at 2 m/sec^2, while Car B with a mass of 1000 kg would require a force of 2000 N. It would be better to drive Car A because it requires less force to accelerate and thus would use less gas. The rocket has an acceleration of 300 m/sec^2, a required force of 150,000 N to accelerate initially, and would require 300,000 N of force if its mass were doubled to 1000 kg. Rocket scientists aim to minimize payload mass because greater mass requires greater thrust and more fuel to accelerate the rocket.

Force, Mass, and Acceleration Practice Problems

Formulas: Fnet = ma (net Force = mass times acceleration)

a = ∆v (acceleration = change in velocity divided by change in time)


∆t F v

Units: Force: Newtons (N) acceleration :


m/sec/sec or m/sec2
velocity: m/sec

Conversions: 1 kg = 1000 g m a a t
1 kg weighs ~ 10 N on Earth

1 N = 1 kg-m/sec2

Problems:
1.Two cars accelerate at 2 m/sec2. Car A has a mass of 750 kg, while Car B has a mass of
1000 kg. What forces are required to accelerate each car? If you are concerned with the price
of gas, which car would you rather drive and why?

2.A 500 kg rocket can accelerate from rest to a speed of 600 m/sec in 2 seconds.
2a. What is the acceleration of the rocket?
2b. How much force is required to accelerate it?
2c. How much force would be required to accelerate the rocket if it’s mass were twice as much
(1000 kg)? Why is payload (the amount of material a rocket carries into space) of extreme
importance to rocket scientists?

3.A satellite in space fires its thrusters for 10 seconds to give itself an added velocity of 2
m/sec. Its constant thrusting force is 800 N during this time. What is the mass of the satellite?
4.A rocket in space has a mass of 5000 kg, and is propelled by a rocket motor with 900,000 N
of thrust, which burns for 4 seconds.

4a. What is the rocket’s acceleration?


Worksheet: Work

Name___________________
Section: 8- Newton

1. Work is the product of the ____________ exerted on an object and the


distance the object moves in the ______________ of the force.
2. The equation for work is _______________.
3. The unit for work is the __________ which also called the __________.
4. Work is done on an object only if the object _____________.
5. Work is done on an object only if the force and displacement are
_____________________________________________.

PROBLEM SOLVING:
Use the back portion for your answer or you may use additional sheet.
Write the given, formula, substitution of the value and box your final answer.

6. A person lifts a package weighing 75 N. If she lifts it 1.2 m off the floor,
what work has she done?

7. When 142 J of work is done in pushing a box horizontally 13.3 m, how much
force is applied?

8. What work is done when a person pushes a refrigerator weighing 720 N


across a floor 12 m? (The force of friction between the refrigerator and
the floor is 480 N.)

9. A sailor pulls a boat along a dock using a rope at an angle of 60.0o with the
horizontal. How much work does the sailor do if he exerts a force of 255 N
on the rope and pulls the boat 3.00 m? A girl pulls a wagon along a level path
for a distance of 44 m. The handle of the wagon makes an angle of 22o
above horizontal. If she pulls on the handle with a force of 87 N, how much
work is done?

10. A girl pulls a wagon along a level path for a distance of 44 m. The handle of
the wagon makes an angle of 22o above horizontal. If she pulls on the
handle with a force of 87 N, how much work is done?
