SHS AP QUIZ 8 KEY 1976 B1 The two guide rails for the elevator shown above each exert a constant friction force of 100 newtons on the elevator car when the elevator car is moving upward with an acceleration of 2 meters per second squared. The pulley has negligible friction and mass. Assume g = 10 m/sec2. (a) On the diagram below, draw and label all forces acting on the elevator car. Identify the source of each force. (b) Calculate the tension in the cable lifting the 400-kilogram elevator car during an upward acceleration of 2 m/sec2. (Assume g 10 m/sec2.) (c) Calculate the mass M the counterweight must have to raise the elevator car with an acceleration of 2 m/sec2.

ATOMS: - made of nucleus (protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge)) and electron cloud (electrons (negative charge) - smallest particle that still retains properties of element - atomic # - # of protons (unique to each element) (also # of electrons in neutral atoms) - mass # - # of protons + neutrons - atomic mass - actual (average) mass of atom (measured in daltons) - about mass # b/c electrons have very small mass compared to protons/neutrons - isotope - atom w/ more/less than usual # of neutrons ELECTRONS: - elemental form of element is when element is by itself - compound - joint of 2+ elements w/ own set of properties diff. from elements - elements in periodic table are arranged in atomic # and are in 18 columns (groups)

Conversions Regarding the Metric System and some Associated Formulas By Toomuchswag Sources: My Chemistry Notes and http://www.simetric.co.uk/siprefix.htm for some verification Most of the world besides the United States uses the metric system, a much simpler measuring tool according to many. The Metric system works in powers of ten: The prefixes work like this: Kilo Hecto Deca R (this is the regular unit, be it meters, grams, etc. we have given it the letter R) Deci Centi Milli Some important formulas: Density: Mass/Volume 1calorie or cal is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of water by 1 degree Celsius

the amplitude of a wave is the wave's height from zero to the crest. the wavelength is the distance between the crests. the frequency is the number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time. the SI unit of cycles per second is called hertz (Hz). the wavelength snf frequency of light are inversely proportionate to each other. the product of the frequency and wavength is always a constant (c), the speed of light.

Molecule Main article: Molecule A molecule is the smallest indivisible portion of a pure chemical substance that has its unique set of chemical properties, that is, its potential to undergo a certain set of chemical reactions with other substances. Molecules can exist as electrically neutral units unlike ions. Molecules are typically a set of atoms bound together by covalent bonds, such that the structure is electrically neutral and all valence electrons are paired with other electrons either in bonds or in lone pairs.
