§4.1 - Wordbank

How does air resistance affect the motion of a skydiver as they fall towards the ground?

1. Air resistance decreases a skydivers rate of falling.
2. Air resistance decreases a skydivers rate of acceleration.
3. Air resistance increases a skydivers rate of acceleration.
4. Air resistance stops a skydivers from falling.

What is the force of gravity on a 50 kg object on Earth's surface, where the force due to gravity is approximately 9.81 N/kg?

If a person has a mass of 70 kg and is standing on the surface of the moon, where the force due to gravity is approximately 1.62 N/kg, what is the force of gravity acting on them?

Two forces of 5 N (left) and 8 N (right) are acting on an object in opposite directions. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the object?

§4.3 - Keywords:

WB - Step 1: Take a look at the wordbank above, these are the new keywords for §4.2 - Speed. Complete the wordbank by marking a “✓” if you agree with what is said and leave it empty if not. 

WB - Step 2: Discuss what you have just filled in on your table with your neighbour(s). Try to explain / argue why you made that choice and ask the person for clarifying questions if need be.  

P.172-175

A car traveling at 60 km/h suddenly hits the brakes and comes to a complete stop in 5 seconds. What is the car's acceleration?

A rock is thrown off a cliff with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. After 5 seconds it has a velocity of 79 m/s, what is its acceleration during the fall?

A car is traveling along a straight road with a constant speed of 30 m/s. If the engine provides a driving force of 5000 N, and air resistance provides a drag force of 2000 N in the opposite direction, what is the resultant force acting on the car? Calculate and explain what other force is acting on the car.

A cyclist is pedaling a bicycle on a flat road with a constant applied force of 200 N. The bicycle experiences resistive forces of 250 N. What is the resultant force acting on the bicycle? Is the cyclist accelerating, decelerating, or moving at a constant speed?
