SCI-113 Chapter 2 Homework Assignment Exercises


1. If a body is in equilibrium, what does that mean in terms of the net forces on it?
a. The net forces on either side are the same so they balance each other out.

2. Is force directly or inversely proportional to acceleration? Give an example.


a. It is directly proportional, so an increase in force will produce an increase in acceleration.

3. Is inertia a force or a property of matter?


a. Inertia is a force.

4. If a ball is rolling on a flat horizontal ground moving west at 10 meters/second, and there is a
10N force west on it and a 10N force east on it, what is the effect of these forces?
a. There is no effect of these forces because they balance each other out. They reach
equilibrium.

5. Which acceleration is greater: 20N force on a 4kg ball or 50N force on a 8kg ball?
a. A 50N force on a 8kg ball.

6. Wendy, who with a jet pack, has a total mass of 80kg. Wendy is on a lake which is frozen (no
friction). If her jet pack propels her on the surface with a force of 2N, what is her acceleration?
a. 0.025 m/s^2

7. If Jim and Jill push on a 1000kg VW bug with 2000N force, the VW bug accelerates at 2 m/s 2.
What would the acceleration be if the VW bug were twice its mass?
a. 1m/s^2

8. If a 20kg ball A hits a 5kg ball B, is the force from A on B greater than the force of B on A? Why?
a. Ball A, because its mass is greater than Ball B, so its force is greater.

9. If you have a hockey puck on a friction-free ice rink, and you have the puck mass and forces as
shown in A – D below, how does each net force rank, from greatest to least?

d.) 4N

from greatest to least.
