A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The force causes the skier to accelerate 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 - - Newton’s Second Law Force = mass X acceleration WRITE DOWN YOUR NEWTON WT.
A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The force causes the skier to accelerate 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 = mXa= 55 kg X 2.0 m/s2 F = 110 kg • m/s2 F = 110 N - Newton’s Second Law Calculating Force
A speedboat pulls a 55-kg water-skier. The force causes the skier to accelerate 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 to accelerate the water-skier. This may not seem like enough force, but it does not include the force of the speedboat's pull that overcomes friction. - Newton’s Second Law Calculating Force

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 have you been 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 - Newton’s Third Law Calculating Momentum

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 Smaller sledgehammer = 4.0 km X 0.9 m/s = 3.6 kg•m/s - Newton’s Third Law 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? The 3.0-kg hammer has more momentum than the 4.0-kg one. This answer makes sense because the 3.0-kg hammer is swung at a greater velocity. - Newton’s Third Law 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 0.045 kg and the mass of the baseball is 0.14 kg. Which has the greater momentum? Golf ball: 0.045 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. - Newton’s Third Law Calculating Momentum

In the absence of friction, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision. Q. What is the momentum of an object? A. Its mass multiplied by its velocity
- Rockets and Satellites What Is a Satellite? • A projectile follows a curved path because the horizontal and vertical motions combine.
- Rockets and Satellites What Is a Satellite? • The faster a projectile is thrown, the father it travels before it hits the ground. A projectile with enough velocity moves in a circular orbit.
- Rockets and Satellites What Is a Satellite? • Depending on their uses, artificial satellites orbit at different heights.
- Rockets and Satellites Identifying Main Ideas • As you read the section “What Is a Satellite?” write the main idea in a graphic organizer like the one below.
