Objects in Free Fall What factors affect a falling object? Perform the following simple activity to begin learning about the forces that act on falling objects.

1. Stand beside your desk. Hold a sheet of notebook paper level at eye level. Release the sheet of paper and watch it fall. Describe the motion of the paper.

2. Hold a sheet of notebook paper that has been crumpled into a tight ball at eye level. Release the crumpled paper and watch it fall. Describe the motion of the paper.

3. How do the motions of the flat sheet of paper and the crumbled ball of paper compare? What forces do you think are acting on each sheet of paper?

Pretest Answers

1. What is relative motion?

2. What is the difference between distance and displacement?

3. How is average speed calculated?

4. On a distance-time graph, what does the slope represent?

Distance is the length of a path between two points. Displacement is the direction from the starting point and the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point.

Relative motion is movement in relation to a frame of reference.

Total distance is divided by total time.

The slope represents the speed.

Chapter 12Pretest Answers (continued)

Click the mouse button to display the answers.

Velocity is speed with direction.

Mass is a measure of inertia; weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.

a. 9.8 m/s b. 9.8 mc. 9.8 m/s2 d. all of the above

8. How are mass and weight different?

Acceleration is change in velocity, that is, any change in speed, direction, or both.

Interest GrabberAnswers

1. Stand beside your desk. Hold a sheet of notebook paper level at eye level. Release the sheet of paper and watch it fall. Describe the motion of the paper.

The paper flutters slowly to the ground.

2. Hold a sheet of notebook paper that has been crumpled into a tight ball at eye level. Release the crumpled paper and watch it fall. Describe the motion of the paper.

The crumpled sheet of paper falls straight to the ground.

3. How do the motions of the flat sheet of paper and the crumbled ball of paper compare? What forces do you think are acting on each sheet of paper?

The flat sheet of paper fluttered slowly to the ground whereas the crumpled ball of paper fell more quickly to the ground and followed a straight-line path. Do not assess students on correctly identifying the two opposing forces on the paper; accept any reasonable response. The two opposing forces are gravity and air resistance.

Interest GrabberAnswers

1. Describe the behavior of two bar magnets that are positioned so that their north and south poles are nearly touching.

The opposite poles of the bar magnets attract each other. If the magnets are close enough, they will move together.

2. Describe a common behavior of clothes when they are removed from a clothes dryer.

Clothes removed from a clothes dryer often stick together.

3. How are these two forces the same? How are they different?

Both forces are associated with charged particles. Both forces attract. The magnets are pulled together by magnetic forces, whereas the clothes cling together because of electric forces.
