Chapter 2

Part I

1. The stretched rubber of the balloon rapidly squeezes air molecules out the nozzle. This rapid expulsion of air in one direction results in an equal force in the opposite direction. 2. A squid fills an internal pouch with water and

then rapidly expels it. This water quickly being pushed in one direction results in an equal push in the opposite direction, and the squid moves forward.

3. The flipping of the salmon’s tail pushes water downstream. The water being pushed pushes back with an equal force, propelling the salmon upstream.

4. The hummingbird flaps its wings rapidly, pushing air downward. The air being pushed down pushes up with equal force, keeping the hummingbird suspended in the air, against the pull of gravity.

5. The canoeist pushes water backward with the paddles. The pushed water pushes back with equal force, causing the canoeist and the canoe to go down the river.

6. The rotating propeller pushes water backward. The pushed water pushes back with the same force, causing the motor and the boat to go forward, across the lake.

7. The monkey pushes against the limb, and the limb pushes back on the monkey with equal force.

8. When the first ball hits a second ball, the sec-ond ball pushes back with the same amount of force. This causes the first ball to stop and the second ball to move forward.

Part II

Answers may vary. Samples: spring pushing off back of a ramp, mousetrap pushing off the ground, windup clock turning wheels that push against the ground, rubber band turning propeller that pushes against the air.

Part I

Answers may vary. Samples: shape of vehicle, length of ramp, length of spring, type of wheels Part II

Answers may vary. Students should include at least one experiment for every variable they list in their table.

Angles of greatest acceleration will vary. However, riding in a elevator (or lifting the accelerometer) should yield an angle of 0°.

1. The acceleration is not constant.

2. Greatest angles will vary. However, you would not expect to see a 90° angle, because, regard-less of horizontal acceleration, the force of gravity is also pulling the washers down. 3. The accelerometer was accelerated vertically,

but no acceleration was recorded because the accelerometer only measures horizontal accel-erations.

4. You would need to accelerate the accelerome-ter by known amounts, and then observe the angles seen on it. In this way, known accelera-tions could be matched with angles on the accelerometer.

3. They are directly proportional. As force increases, objects of greater mass must be used to maintain constant acceleration. As force decreases, objects of lesser mass must be used to maintain constant acceleration.

4. Brightness and distance from the bulb are inversely proportional, because as one value becomes greater, the other becomes less. Section 2-3 Review and Reinforce (p. 43)

1. The types of surfaces; how hard the surfaces are pushed against each other

2. Answers may vary. Example: put oil on the surfaces

3. Objects fall at a different rate when the air resistance acting on them is different. 4. Mass is the amount of matter in an object;

weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object.

1. The blocks were very heavy and they were rough, which made the friction high.

2. They might have reduced friction by changing it from sliding friction to rolling friction. The pencils underneath the book act as a model of how the Egyptians could have used logs. 3. Answers may vary. Samples: Pour olive oil and

slide the blocks. Build a canal to float the blocks on barges.

4. Sample: It isn’t a fact because we don’t know that the Egyptians used the method. It is pos-sible the Egyptians used the log method, so it is a hypothesis.

1. It stays the same before and after an event. 2. Newton’s third law of motion says that if an

object, such as a foot, exerts a force on another object, such as a soccer ball, the second object (the soccer ball) exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object (the foot).

3. Since momentum equals mass times velocity, a very slow-moving elephant could have the same momentum as a very fast-moving golf ball.

4. 160 kg•m/s

5. momentum of moving car 5 0.04 kg 3 4 m/s 5 0.16 kg•m/s

The momentum of the coupled cars is 0.16 kg•m/s because momentum is conserved. 6. Momentum is mass times velocity.

7. The total momentum of a group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects.

1. C; 32,000 kg•m/s

2. B; It has the least momentum.

3. Answers may vary. Sample: the forces are equal and opposite to the forces applied by the cars and are the same for both cars. The equal forces, however, are applied over different times. The force exerted by the wall is applied

over a shorter time than the force exerted by the Fitch Barriers.

4. Answers may vary. Sample: Fitch Barriers will more slowly absorb the momentum of car B than will the solid concrete wall on car A. The Fitch Barriers will have a gradual braking effect in contrast to the sudden stop against the concrete wall. Therefore, the force with which the people in car B are thrown forward will be distributed over a greater period of time than would be the case of the people in car A. This will reduce the probability of seri-ous injury to the people in car B versus those in car A.

1. Newton’s third law of motion—every time there is an action force on an object, the object will exert an equal and opposite reaction force. 2.

3. Any object moving around another object in space.

4. Gravity; it would no longer orbit Earth. It would move in a straight line.

1. You don’t feel Earth moving because all objects around you, including the atmosphere, are moving with you at the same speed. 2. No. The direction of Earth’s rotation is west to

east, exactly perpendicular to the direction in which you would launch a satellite into polar orbit, so the rotation would have no effect on the launch.

3. The launch location would be traveling “back-wards” in relation to the direction of the orbit. So, you’d have to accelerate the satellite to a speed of 19,200 km/hr 1 1,700 km/hr 5 20,900 km/hr relative to the launch point. 4. The satellites would continue to orbit Earth. Chapter 2 Skills Lab

1. Answers may vary. Sample: Materials are alu-minum cans and alualu-minum foil. The cans will be used as floats and the aluminum foil will be used as a deck. I chose these materials because they are lightweight metal.

2. Answers may vary. Check students’ diagrams to see if they are thoughtfully designed. 3. Answers may vary. Sample: The boat will be

tested in a dishpan of water. If the boat floats, pennies will be added until 50 have been added or the boat sinks.

4. Answers may vary. Sample: Boats will be made from different materials. Each boat will be tested in a dishpan and pennies will be added as cargo. The best designs will be the boats that carry the cargo.

5. Answers may vary. Sample: I will make a bal-ance from a meter stick, string, and two plastic bowls. The boat will be weighed using pennies for weights.

1. Answers may vary. Sample: I found the best materials to be the lightest. Aluminum cans worked better than aluminum foil because they are stronger and did not change shape when the pennies were added.

2. Answers may vary. Sample: The boat made from aluminum cans was the best. It held its shape and carried the pennies. The boat was the lightest and the easiest to make.

3. Answers may vary. Sample: I plan to show the class my different boat designs and describe the strengths and weaknesses of each. Then I will show the class my best design and demon-strate it.

1. All of the forces exerted by the individual mol-ecules in the fluid add together to create pres-sure in a fluid.

2. Pressure =

3. Air pressure decreases as elevation increases. 4. Water pressure increases as depth increases. 5. G, A, D, B, F, C, E

6. Pressure is a measure of force exerted on an area.

7. A fluid is any substance that can easily change its shape or flow.

8. One pascal is one newton of force applied to one square meter of area.

1. No.

2. The paper was lifted up by the stick. The mid-dle of the paper, over the stick, lifted off the paper first. While this happened, air had time to rush under the paper, so the pressure should have been about equal.

3. Yes. With the newspaper on top, it was much more difficult to press down hard and fast on the stick.

4. No. Because the movement was so fast, air had less time to flow under the paper. For this rea-son, there would have been more air pressure on the top of the paper than on the bottom. 5. The downward force was caused by

atmos-pheric pressure. Because the paper was being lifted so quickly, the pressure above it was not balanced by the pressure of the air beneath the paper.

1. Water will stop moving through the siphon when the level of water in container A falls to the level of the intake end of the siphon. 2. Only siphon 2 will function.

3. Siphon 1 will not work because the discharge end is higher than the intake end. This means the water will flow back into container A. Siphon 3 will not work because the intake end is above the surface of the water in container A, so water from container A cannot be pulled into the siphon.

1. The buoyant force pushes up against gravity and makes the object feel lighter.

2. According to Archimedes’ principle, the weight of the water displaced by the object equals the weight of the object. Because water weighs 1 g per cm3_{, the object must weigh 10 g.}

3. greater 4. less 5. equal to

6. The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. 7. Density is the mass of an object per unit

volume.

3. It is being pushed downward. 4. The push becomes stronger.

5. As the wind speeds up, pressure on top of the chimney will decrease, according to Bernoulli’s principle. Smoke will move faster, going from a higher-pressure area to a lower-pressure area. 6. The pressure exerted by a moving stream of

fluid is less than the pressure of the surround-ing fluid.

1. A bat would use airfoil a, because more lift would be important while landing. However, since it would be moving more slowly, drag would be less important.

2. A bat might use airfoil c, because drag must be low to fly as fast as possible. At such high speeds, getting enough lift would not be a problem.

3. A bat might use airfoil b. It’s less curved than

a, so it would give less lift, but it is more

curved than airfoil c, which is shaped for fastest flight.

4. If the bat did this, the wing held in shape a would have more lift than the wing in shape c. One wing would rise, which would cause the bat to roll over.

Chapter 5

1. The vehicle will not have enough energy to get up the second hill. The potential energy of a vehicle on the first hill would be less than the potential energy of a vehicle on the second hill. The vehicle would require energy input to get up the second hill.

2. In a frictionless system, this would work; how-ever, the vehicle will lose energy because of friction against both the track and the air. The vehicle would not make it up the second hill. 3. It might be possible for the vehicle to complete

this type of track. However, success will depend on the height of the first hill and the distance between the hills. If the vehicle has enough potential energy on the first hill and does not expend the energy on long distances between the hills, this setup would work. 4. The materials that the students select may

vary. Make sure that they are readily available to the students at a reasonable price. Also, make sure that the students have selected materials that are easy to modify.

(9)

5. The students’ vehicle choices will vary. Again, make sure that they are readily available to the students at a reasonable price. Also, be sure that the students’ vehicles are compatible with their choice of track.

6. This measurement will vary, depending on the student’s vehicle. Students may need help mea-suring the mass of their vehicles.

7. Make sure that students draw their sketches to scale. The scale that they use should be clearly indicated on their sketches.

8. Heights of hills and distances between hills should conform to the scale that the student selected. The point of maximum potential energy is at the top of the first hill. The point of maximum kinetic energy is at the bottom of the first hill.

Part I

Make sure that students keep thorough records of their modifications.

1. If the second hill is shorter, the vehicle will travel further up the third hill.

2. The answer to this question will vary depend-ing on the type of track that the student has designed.

3. The students’ answers will vary depending on the track, vehicle choices, and the distances between hills.

Part II

Make sure that students keep thorough records of their modifications.

5. It is likely that the student will need to change the heights of the hills to include additional features.

1. Work is the transfer of energy.

2. Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object. Potential energy is energy stored and held in readiness.

1. Keeping these two variables the same acts as a control. It allows you to use the ending tem-peratures of the experiments to determine the best insulators.

2. Answers may vary. Sample: The materials and designs with the highest ending temperatures will make the best insulating devices.

3. Answers may vary depending on materials test-ed. Students may notice that materials such as packing peanuts and foam board that contain enclosed air pockets make good insulators, and materials which hold air less tightly, such as cotton balls, are less effective as insulators. 4. Answers may vary depending on design

1. The water in cup B cooled more than the water in cup A.

2. Answers may vary. Sample: In cup A, the melt-ing of the ice cube immediately decreased the temperature of the water. Afterwards, the dif-ference in temperature between the water and the room was not as great, so the rate at which the water radiated heat was not as great. In cup B, the water radiated heat to the room before the ice cube was added, so there was a greater difference between the temperature of the water and the room. As a result, the rate at

(12)

which the water in cup B radiated heat was greater.

3. Answers may vary. Sample: You should let the hot chocolate sit for five minutes and then add the ice cube. By letting the hot chocolate radi-ate first, the difference in temperature between the hot chocolate and the room is greater than if you added the ice cube immediately.

Therefore, the hot chocolate will cool faster. 4. Answers may vary. Sample: Pancakes that are

immediately covered in syrup will stay warm longer. The syrup will decrease the tempera-ture difference between the pancakes and the room so that they will not radiate heat as quickly.

1. The solid ice absorbed thermal energy from its surroundings and changed state, or melted, to become liquid water.

2. When a substance is changing state, its ther-mal energy is changing but its temperature remains the same. That’s because the change in thermal energy is changing the arrangement of the particles, but the average kinetic energy of those particles is not changing.

1. Sprinklers that are set off when a link of solder melts involve a change of state.

2. As the temperature rises, the part with the lowest melting point will melt first. The link of

solder in a sprinkler should melt first, so the solder should have the lowest melting point. 3. The glass expands less than the liquid inside it

because the expansion of the liquid causes the glass to break.

4. If each sprinkler is set off individually, only the area of the fire will be sprayed and less water damage will occur.
