17. Apply It!
Look at pro- and jacere and predict the meaning of projectile.
Revise your definition as needed as you read the chapter.
Look for words with these Latin origins as you read the chapter.
Sample: I see that pro- means “forward” and that jacere means “to throw.”
By combining the two I get the definition of projectile.

19. Section 1: The Nature of Force
How is a force described?
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object’s velocity?

20. Combining Force Vectors
The strength and direction of the individual forces determine the net force.

21. Unbalanced Forces
Unbalanced forces acting on an object result in a net force and cause a change in the object’s velocity.

22. Balanced Forces
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object’s velocity.

25. Section 2: Friction, Gravity, and Elastic Forces
What factors determine the strength of the friction force between two surfaces?
What factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?
Why do objects accelerate during free fall?
When is matter considered to be elastic?

26. Gravity Between Objects
The force of gravity between objects increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance.

27. Mass and Weight
The gravitational force exerted on a person or object at the surface of a planet is known as weight.

28. Free Fall
The graph shows how the speed of an object in free fall changes with time. Use the graph to answer the following questions.

29. Free Fall Interpreting Graphs:
What is the speed of the object at 1 second? At 3 seconds?
9.8 m/s; 29.4 m/s.

30. Free Fall Calculating:
Calculate the slope of the graph. What does this number represent?
The slope is 9.8. The speed increases by 9.8 m/s each second.

31. Free Fall
Predicting:
Use the slope that you calculated in Step 2 to predict the object’s speed at 6 seconds.
58.8 m/s

32. Free Fall Drawing Conclusions:
The graph has a constant slope. What does the slope tell you about the object’s motion?
The object’s speed increases at a constant rate.

33. Air Resistance
Falling objects with a greater surface area experience more air resistance.

37. Section 3: Newton’s First and Second Laws
What is Newton’s first law of motion?
What is Newton’s second law of motion?

38. Calculating Force
A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The skier to accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.
Read and Understand
What information have you been given?
Mass of the water-skier (m) = 55 kg
Acceleration of the water-skier (a) = 2.0 m/s2

39. Calculating Force
A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The skier accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.
Plan and Solve
What quantity are you trying to calculate?
The net force (Fnet) = __
What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity?
a = Fnet/m or Fnet = m x a
Perform the calculation.
Fnet = m x a = 55 kg x 2.0 m/s2
F = 110 kg • m/s2
F = 110 N

40. Calculating Force Look Back and Check Does your answer make sense?
A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The skier accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.
Look Back and Check
Does your answer make sense?
A net force of 110 N is required. This does not include the force that overcomes friction.

41. Calculating Force Practice Problem
What is the net force on a 1,000-kg object accelerating at 3 m/s2?
3,000 N (1,000 kg x 3 m/s2)

42. Calculating Force Practice Problem
What net force is needed to accelerate a 25-kg cart
at 14 m/s2?
350 N (25 kg x 14 m/s2)

45. Section 4: Newton’s Third Law
What is Newton’s third law of motion?
How can you calculate the momentum of an object?
What is the law of conservation of momentum?

46. Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Newton’s third law of motion states that if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.

47. Calculating Momentum
Which has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s, or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s?
Read and Understand
What information are you given?
Mass of smaller sledgehammer = 3.0 kg
Velocity of smaller sledgehammer = 1.5 m/s
Mass of larger sledgehammer = 4.0 kg
Velocity of larger sledgehammer = 0.9 m/s

48. Calculating Momentum
Which has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s?
Plan and Solve
What quantities are you trying to calculate?
The momentum of each sledgehammer = __
What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Perform the calculation.
Smaller sledgehammer = 3.0 km x 1.5 m/s = 4.5 kg•m/s
Larger sledgehammer = 4.0 km x 0.9 m/s = 3.6 kg•m/s

49. Calculating Momentum
Which has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s?
Look Back and Check
Does your answer make sense?
It is possible for the 3.0-kg hammer to have more momentum than the 4.0-kg one because it has a greater velocity.

50. Calculating Momentum Practice Problem
A golf ball travels at 16 m/s, while a baseball moves at 7 m/s. The mass of the golf ball is kg and the mass of the baseball is 0.14 kg. Which has greater momentum?
Golf ball: kg x 16 m/s = 0.72 kg•m/s
Baseball: 0.14 kg x 7 m/s = 0.98 kg•m/s
The baseball has greater momentum.

51. Calculating Momentum Practice Problem
What is the momentum of a bird with a mass of kg flying at 15 m/s?
0.27 kg•m/s (0.018 kg x 15 m/s = 0.27 kg•m/s)

52. Conservation of Momentum-

56. What Is a Satellite?
A projectile follows a curved path. The horizontal and vertical motions act independently.

57. What Is a Satellite?
