o___________28. It is the energy at rest.
@. 8.9m/s2
u___________29. It is the unit for acceleration due to gravity.
4. Velocity
___________30. It is the force pulling object towards the center.
O. Potential

A. Acceleration

IV. Classification: Determine the following examples below whether it describes inertia,
acceleration or interaction. Write 1st if it shows inertia, 2nd for acceleration and 3rd
for interaction.
___________31. Pushing a child on a swing is easier than pushing an adult on the same swing,
because the adult has more inertia.
___________32. Two students are in a basketball game. The first student hits a ball very hard it
has a greater acceleration than the second student who bunts the ball lightly.
___________33. A soccer player kicks a ball with their foot and their toes are left stinging.
___________34. A picture is hanging on a wall and does not move.
___________35. A person not wearing a seatbelt flies through a car window when someone
slams on the breaks because the person’s body wants to remain in continuous
motion even when the car stops.
___________36. A magician pulls a table cloth out from under dishes and glasses on a table
without disturbing them.
___________37. A soccer ball accelerates more than a bowling ball when thrown with the same
force.
___________38. Rockets are launched into space using jet propulsion where exhaust
accelerate out from the rocket and the rocket accelerate in an opposite direction.
___________39. A student leaves a pencil on a desk and the pencil stays in the same spot until
another student picks it up.
___________40. A person’s body is thrown outward as a car rounds a curve on a highway.

V. Computation. Solve for the following problems. Show your solution at the back!
(5 points each)

1. Charles and John each lift a 125-kg barbell to a height of 1.5m off the ground.
Charles lifts his barbell in 1.5s and John lifts his in 2.0s.
a. Who does more work?
b. Who exerts more power?

2. A car moves at a constant speed of 15.0 m/s around circle. What is the
centrifugal acceleration of the car if the distance from the car to the center of the
circle is 45.0m?
