Make a drawing to illustrate your answer to the following problem: The speed of an airplane relative to the ground depends on the airplane s speed relative to the air (the airspeed) and on the direction of the wind. For example, suppose an airplane moves at an airspeed of 100 km/h. If the air is moving 30 km/h in the same direction, the speed of the plane relative to the ground is 130 km/h.

SHORT ANSWER 25. ANS: 240 cm/s PTS: 1 DIF: intermediate REF: section 2.3 26. ANS: Answers may vary. Correct answers include: Example vectors: position, velocity, force, and acceleration Example scalars: temperature, speed, mass,and coefficients such as the spring constant or the coefficient of sliding friction PTS: 1 DIF: basic REF: section 7.1 27. ANS: The horseshoe would weigh less. Weight is a measure of the pulling force of gravity, and since the gravity exerted by the moon on the horseshoe is less (by 1/6th) than the gravity exerted by the Earth on the horseshoe, the horseshoe would actually weigh less on the moon. PTS: 1 DIF: intermediate REF: chapter 03 section 03.2 STA: TEKS 4B TEKS 3A 28. ANS: The mass of the horseshoe would be the same. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and the amount of matter in the horseshoe does not change when it is taken from one place to another.

38. ANS: All measurements must include units in order for the measurement to be understood. All measurements are made by comparing one quantity with another. If a measurement is given only as a number it is impossible to tell which quantity is being used for comparison.therefore, the size of the quantity which is being described cannot be determined. PTS: 1 DIF: basic REF: section 1.2 39. ANS: To represent the components graphically, draw the vector as an arrow of appropriate length at the specified angle. Draw a vertical and a horizontal arrow from the tail of the vector. Connect these arrows to the head of the original vector with another pair of vertical and horizontal arrows. The heads of all arrows drawn should point away from the tail and toward the head of the original vector. The sides of the rectangle formed represent the size of the components. The heads of the arrows represent the direction. PTS: 1 DIF: advanced REF: section 7.1
