Here are the answers to the questions:
Question 1 A
Response: The work done by each force is negative. (This is not possible because if two forces are acting in the same direction and causing an increase in speed, at least one of them must be doing positive work.)
Question 2 A
Responses:
- Lifting a bag of groceries
- Carrying a box up a flight of stairs
- Lifting a rock off the ground
- Pushing a grocery cart through the store
Question 3 A
Responses:
- Work: Using force to change the energy of an object
- Power: The rate at which work is done
- Joule: The metric unit of work and energy
- Watt: The metric unit of power
- Machine: Any device that makes work easier to do
- Mechanical Advantage: The number to represent how by how much a machine increases the input force
- Efficiency: The ratio of output work of a machine to the input work of a machine
- Energy: The ability to do work
Question 4 A
Response: He does work as he picks up the book and as he lifts it to the shelf.
Question 5 A
Responses:
- The time needed to do the work
- The direction of a force
- The distance over which a force is applied
Question 6 A
Response: Reducing friction.
Question 7 A
Responses:
- Pulley: A simple machine that consists of a rope that fits into a groove in a wheel.
- Wheel and Axle: A simple machine that consists of two disks or cylinders, each one with a different radius.
- Lever: A rigid bar that is free to move around a fixed point called a fulcrum.
- Inclined Plane: A slanted surface along which a force moves an object to a different elevation.
- Screw: An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
- Wedge: A V-shaped object whose sides are two inclined planes sloped toward each other.
Question 8 A
Response: Class 2 Lever - The closer the load is placed to the fulcrum, the less effort needed to lift the load.
Question 9 A
Response: It allows a smaller force to be applied over a longer distance.
Question 10 A
Response: 7
Question 11 A
Response: 10.5 feet (Mechanical Advantage = Length of Ramp / Height of Ramp; Hence, 1.5 = x / 7 → x = 10.5)
Question 12 A
Response: 7
Question 13 A
Response: 2.0
Question 14 A
Response: 3.0
Question 15 A
Response: 9.0 J (Work = Force × Distance; Hence, Work = 6 N × 1.5 m = 9.0 J)
Question 16 A
Response: 48 J (Work = 12 N × 4 m = 48 J)
Question 17 A
Response: Marla did more work than Jaxon because she walked a longer distance.
Question 18 A
Response: F1 × D1 = F2 × D2
Question 19 A
Response: Increase the radius of the steering wheel.
Question 20 A
Response: Alicia is correct because simple machines change the amount of work required, but still require work.
Question 21 A
Response: When the object does not move.
