- SHORT A NSWER R ESPONSE A SSIGNMENT I NSTRUCTIONS
- OVERVIEW
- For the Short Answer Response: Kinematics Assignment and the Short Answer Response:
- Newton’s Law Assignment, you will reflect on what has been learned in this course by
- answering several physics related questions. You need to submit each of the responses during the
- appropriate module.
- I NSTRUCTIONS
- These assignments are open-book, but you should not search for answers to these questions
- online. In addition to the short answer questions, you will also be asked to solve physics related
- problems based upon the course Learn material covered up to this point in the course.

- Short Answer Response: Kinematics Assignment
- The laboratory exercise for this chapter addresses kinematic motion. You have experienced these
- motions in everyday life. Instead of a discussion requiring posts in a thread, this assignment has
- been modified to accept your response to the following questions in this assignment. Be sure to
- clearly address each of the points below and show all of your work.
- • What is the difference between acceleration and velocity?
- • Show the kinematic equation for an object in free-fall. Be sure to define each of the
- variables.
- • Write the original due date of this assignment for this term: Month and Day (For
- example, July 15 would be Month = 7, Day = 15)
- • For a building having a height equal to the twice the quantity you have recorded for Day
- in meters (in our example of July 15, this would be 2×15 = 30 meters), compute the time
- required for the ball to fall to the ground while experiencing acceleration due to gravity
- (g=9.8m/s2). Show all work.
- • How fast was the ball traveling when it hit the ground? Show your work.

- Short Answer Response: Newton’s Law Assignment
- • Write Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
- • Write the equation for centripetal force.
- • Write the Month and Day of the Assignment Due Date. For example, if the assignment is
- due on July 15th, then Month=7, Day=15.
- • For an object having a mass of 10 times the day given in the previous section (for our
- example of July 15 th , the mass would be 10×15=150kg), calculate the weight of the object
- on the moon assuming acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s 2 Show all your
- work.
- PHYS 103
- • Find an example of a physical force from within the New Testament and discuss the
- example. Be sure to provide the scripture reference. Physical force means an event that
- occurred during biblical times, not a spiritual force.
