Question

The next scenarios are not part of the Java simulation. Just use your best thinking to answer the

questions.
At the park, Emily is sliding into home plate. Inside the ice rink, Fran fell and is sliding across the ice.
a. Draw a picture of both Emily and Fran sliding (not graded). Include the vector forces acting on both
Emily and Fran. b. Draw the forces you think are acting on Emily and Fran. c. Describe what will happen to each person over time and explain why.

Answer 1

A) Vector is an upward, downwards, left, and right directions for Emily vector is in the upward, downwards, and right directions for Fran.

B) The force of weight and gravity in the downward direction, the normal force in the upward direction, acceleration force in the right direction and the frictional force in the left direction. Fran doesn't have a frictional force.

C) Emily's velocity will slow down since the ground is being countering her velocity and slowing her down in the opposite direction until she stops. Fran's speed will be constant since there is no friction to slow her down so she will continue to move unless she hits a wall.
