Based on the acceleration in the above ball rolling down an inclined plane (with vo = 0 meters per second), how far would it have traveled along the inclined plane in the first six seconds of rolling?
9 meters
16 meters
25 meters
36 meters
49 meters
The momentum or “impetus” of a 12 kilogram mass moving at 7 meters per second can be stopped
completely by a direct collision with a 3-kilogram mass moving at a velocity of:
14 meters per second
28 meters per second
36 meters per second
63 meters per second
84 meters per second
According to Jean Buridan’s equation, the momentum or “impetus” of an 8 kilogram mass moving at 48 meters per second would be:
192 kilogram-meters per second
384 kilogram-meters per second
576 kilogram-meters per second
768 kilogram-meters per second
960 kilogram-meters per second

- A scientist was investigating if differences in the frictional work performed on a model car can change depending on its mass (in grams) and whether the car moves up or down an inclined plane. They decided to measure the amount of frictional force experienced by the model car and the distance it traveled in meters. The scientists were able to evaluate the frictional work using the following data. Mass (g) Distance (m) Force Work Done by Friction (J) car going up the incline 100 39 0.063 2.457 car going down the incline 70 39 0.2309 ? It is known that the relationship between force and distance determines the work done by friction (W+). W₁ = fd Wf work done by friction f = force d = distance Question: How much work done by friction was exerted on the car as it moved down the inclined plane?
