5 answers

Here are the correct answers to your questions:

  1. They each have a displacement of 0 miles.

    • Both postal workers return to the post office, meaning their displacement (change in position) is zero.
  2. They have the same speed but different velocities.

    • Both are walking at 1.25 miles per hour, but in different directions.
  3. He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.

    • The graph shows the person moving away from home (speeding up) in the first 10 minutes and then returning to home (slowing down) in the last segment.
  4. The object remains still.

    • A horizontal line on a position-time graph indicates that the position is constant over time, meaning the object is not moving.
  5. a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time.

    • This would result in a net force acting against the object's motion, preventing it from moving.
  6. the force needed to lift a chair.

    • Lifting a chair typically requires more force than lifting lighter objects like a hairbrush or pencil.
  7. Yes, this is an example of a force because a force is a push or pull.

    • The person pushing the box exerts a force, regardless of whether the box moves.
  8. a gust of wind blowing a leaf away.

    • This is an example of a non-contact force (air pressure and wind) changing an object's speed.
  9. A force acting in the direction of the object’s motion is removed from the object.

    • If opposition to the force is removed, the object's momentum would increase.
  10. An unbalanced force stops your foot but does not act on the rest of your body.

    • The inertia of the body continues to move forward while the foot stops.
  11. The bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with more force.

    • According to Newton's second law, to increase acceleration, you can either decrease mass or increase the applied force.
  12. a baseball player swinging a bat and hitting a baseball, causing the bat to shatter.

    • This situation demonstrates a physical change due to the reactive force.
  13. The hammer and the wall exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions.

    • This reflects Newton's third law of motion.
