1. Dari dua vektor yang memiliki besar sama maka resultan dari kedua
vektor tersebur bernilai nol (0), sedangkan jika kedua vektor tersebut
memiliki nilai yang berbeda maka resultan dari kedua vektor tersebut
memiliki nilai yang tidak nol (0);
2. Dari tiga vektor yang memiliki besar yang sama maka resultan dari ketiga
vektor tersebut tidak bernilai nol (0), sedangkan jika ketiga vektor
tersebut memiliki besar yang berbeda maka resultan ketiga vektor
tersebut memiliki nilai nol (0)

3. 2 cars approach a street corner at right angles to each other. Car 1 travels at 35
km/h and car 2 travels at 55 km/h. What is the relative velocity of car 1 as seen
by car 2? What is the velocity of car 2 relative to car 1?
Answer:

a. relative velocity of car 1 as seen by car 2

v1-2 = 35 55
= -20 km/h
# The minus sign (-) means that the first car makes a reverse /opposite
direction with a velocity of 20 km/h to the second car
b. velocity of car 2 relative to car 1
v2-1 = 55 35
= 20 km/h
# The positive sign (+) means that second car makes a progress direction
with a velocity of 20 km/h to first car
4. A car traveling 90 Km/h is 100 m behind a truck traveling 50
take car to reach the truck?
Answer:
s1

= s2 + 100m

V1.t

= v2.t +100m

90.t - 50.t

= 100m

40.t

= 10-1

5. How much tension must a rope with stand if its used to accelerate a 1500 kg car
at 0,650 m/s2 ? Ignore friction!
KNOWN:
m = 1500 kg
a = 0,650 m/s2
QUESTION :
How much the tension of a rope (F) ?
ANSWERS:
F=mxa
F = 1500 x 0,650
F = 975 N
6. According to a simplified model of a mammalian heart, at each pulse
approximately 20 g of blood is accelerated from 0,25 m/s to 0,35 m/s during a
period of 0,10 s. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the heart
muscle?
KNOWN :
m = 20 g
V0 = 0,25 m/s
Vt = 0,35 m/s
t = 0,10
QUESTION :
How much the force of heart muscle (F) ?
ANSWERS :
First we have to know how much the acceleration, so
a=
=
=
= 1 m/s2
From the question we know that
m = 20 g , we change it into 0,02 kg
Then we conclude that
F=mxa

= 0,02 x 1
= 0,02 N
So, the magnitude of the force exerted by the heart muscle is 0,02 N
7. A car decelerates from a speed of 25 m/s to test in a distance of 120 m. What
was it is acceleration, assumed constant!
KNOWN :
V0 = 25 m/s
S = 120 m
QUESTION :
What was it is acceleration (a) ?
ANSWERS :
=

+ 2.a.s

+ 2.a.120

= 625 + 240 a

240

= -625
a = - 2,6

8. Two cars approach a street

corner at tight angles to each

9. Can you conclude that a car is not accelerating if its speedometer indicates a
steady 60 km/h?
Answer:

No, I cant because acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Because

acceleration is the second derivative of position with respect to time: d2x / dt2,
which makes it the first derivative of velocity: dv/dt.
Therefore if the speed of the car is constant but the direction of the car is not,
then the car is accelerating.

10.Can a particle with constant speed be accelerating? What if it has constant

velocity?
Answer:
Yes, a particle with constant speed be accelerating, because speed has value
and direction, it called by vector direction.
And constant velocity cant be accelerating because velocity just do removal
and it just has value dan has not direction, it called by scalar direction.
11.Why does a child in a wagon fall back ward when you give the wagon sharp pull?
Jawab:
Karena pada peristiwa tersebut berlaku hukum Newton III yaitu aksi dan reaksi.
Jadi mengapa anak kecil terjatuh ke belakang dikarenakan adanya gaya reaksi
yang diberikan oleh anak yang jatuh serta gaya aksi yang dilakukan penarik.
12.A car travelled 50 km/h strikes a tree the front end of the car compresses and
the driver comes to rest after travelling 0,7 m. What was the average
deceleration of the driver during the collusion? Express the answer in terms of
g where g = 9,8 m/s2
Answer:
vo= 50 km/h = 13,89 m/s
Vt=0
S= 0,7
a=?
Vt2 = Vo2 + 2 . a . s
02 = (13,89)2 + 2 . a . 0,7
= - 137,8 m/s2

a=

13. A space vehicle acelerates uniformsly from 55m/s at t=0 to 162 /s at t=10s.
How far did it move between t=2s and t=6s
Answer:
vt = vo + at
162 = 55 + a . 2
a=

s = Vo +

a . t2

= 55 . 2 +

.4

= 110 + 107 = 217 m

vt = vo + at
162 = 55 + a . 6
a=

s = Vo +

a . t2

= 55 . 6 +

. 36

= 330 + 321 = 651 m

Thus it moves for t =2s and t=6s, distance => 651 217 = 434 m
