1. Ivan can make 10 cupcakes in 4hours, how many cakes can he make in 10 hours?

Given:

10 cupcakes

4hours

10 hours

10 cupcakes = 4hours

Solution:

10hrs/1 × 10 cupcakes/4hrs= 100/4

100/4=25 cupcakes Ivan can make in 10 hours

2. Aldrin measure the length of an object to be 26.5 centimeters, but the actual length as determined by
a more accurate measurement is 27.8 centimeters. Calculate the percent error in Aldrin measurement.

Given:

26.5 cm Solution

27.8 cm x=26.5

Formula: xt=27.8

PE= |x-xt|/xt ×100 PE= ∣26.5−27.8∣=1.3

PE= |1.3/27.8| × 100 = 4.68%


3. Johmel measure the density of a substance to be 3.8g/cm but the accepted value is 4.2g/cm. Calculate
the percent error in Johmel's measurement

Given: Formula:

3.8g/cm PE= |x-xt|/xt ×100

4.2g/cm

Solution:

x= 3.8

xt= 4.2

PE= |3.8-4.2|= 0.4

PE= |0.4/4.2| × 100= 9.52%

4. You measure the time period of a pendulum to be 2.03 seconds, but the actual time period is 2.00
seconds. Calculate the percent error in your measurement.

Given: Formula:

2.03 PE= |x-xt|/xt ×100

2.00
Solution:

x= 2.03

xt= 2.00

PE= |2.03-2.00|=00.3

PE= |00.3/2.00|= 1.5%

5. Convert 143 km to m and 12g to kg. Answer in scientific notation.

Solution:

 143 km× 1000m/km = 143,000 m


 12 g× 1kg/ 1000 g= 0.012 kg

Answer:

 1.43×10⁵
 1.2×10^-2

6. Ristine walks 5 kilometers north, then 3 kilometers east, and finally 2 kilometers south. Calculate
Ristine's total distance traveled and displacement from the starting point.

Given: Solution:

5km Distance= 5km+3km+2km= 10km

3km Displacement= 5-2= 3km

2km

7. Renz runs 20 feet south, 20 feet east, and then 20 feet north. Calculate the total distance and
displacement from the starting point.
Distance: 20+20+20= 60 feet

Displacement: 20 feet

8. A car is traveling along a straight road at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. Suddenly, the driver
applies the brakes, and the car comes to a stop. Explain the car's motion using the first law of motion.

Answer:

 The first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion
will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. In this
scenario, when the car is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour, it is in a state of
motion with no net external force acting on it. This means that the forces acting on the car (such
as friction and air resistance) are balanced, allowing the car to maintain its constant velocity.
(Answer may vary)

9. The mass of a truck is 2000kg. How much force do we need to accelerate the car at a rate of 4 m/sec²?

Given: 2000 kg Formula: F=MA

4 m/sec²

Solution:

 F= 2000kg × 4m/sec²
 F= 8000 N
10. A rocket is launched from the ground. The rocket engine generates a force of 100,000 N downward
by expelling gases at a high speed. Calculate the force exerted by the rocket on the gases, and explain
the direction of this force.

Solution:

 According to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted by the rocket on the gases is equal
in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the gases on the rocket.

11. The price of a shirt was $20 last month. This month, the price increased to $25. What is the percent
difference in the price of the shirt from last month to this month?

Given: $20

$25

Solution:

Find the difference in prices: $25 - $20 = $5

Calculate the percent difference: ($5 / $20) * 100% = 25%

13. A block of mass 2 kg is suspended by a rope from the ceiling. What is the tension in the rope if the
block is at rest?

Given: 2kg

Solution:

F=ma

A=9.81m/s²

F= 2kg× 9.81

14. A 50 kg box is being pushed across a horizontal surface with a force of 200 N. The coefficient of
friction between the box and the surface is 0.4. Calculate the friction force acting on the box and
determine if it will move.

Given: 50kg

200N

0.4

A= 9.81 m/s² due to gravity
