- Which of the following statements best describes the motion of an object that has a constant net force acting on it: a. Its acceleration must be in the same direction as the force. b. Its velocity must be in the same direction as the force. c. Its velocity and its acceleration must both be in the same direction as the force.arrow_forward3. In a Force vs. Acceleration experiment a cart is pulled by a hanging mass of 100 gm. The cart is pulled over a distance of 1.25 meter and develops an acceleration of 2.50 m/s. Neglecting friction, what would be the mass of the cart? 123 gm 292 gm d. 300 gm e. 100 gm f. None of These а. с. b. 275 gmarrow_forward16. A reaction force when you go up to a wall and push on it is that the wall pushes back on you. What is preventing you from moving (in most cases)? Explain.arrow_forward

What was the magnitude of the force responsible for the acceleration over that distance, assuming that the acceleration was constant?arrow_forward1. A pair of crates are in contact with one another on a horizontal frictionless surface. The first crate has a mass of 3.0kg, while the second has a mass of 12kg. You push on the 3.0-kg crate to the right with a force of 60N, causing it to press against the second crate and move them both. What is the acceleration of each crate? What is the force that the lighter crate exerts on the heavier crate as it presses against it?arrow_forward3. A horse is tethered to a cart to pull it forward. A student claims, "According to Newton's third law, when the horse pulls forward on the cart, the cart will also pull backwards on the horse. The two objects are attached together, so they cannot accelerate." Discuss the validity of this statement.arrow_forward

Both forces act in the same direction. A third force of 450 N also acts on the car, but in an opposite direction opposite to that in which the pavement opposes the motion of the tires. If the mass of the car is 1750 kg, find the acceleration of the car.arrow_forward24. A pickup truck with mass 980 kg is initially at rest. The truck accelerates to a speed of 95 km/hr within a distance of 60 meters. What the direction and size of the force that acts on the truck? a. b. If the truck were carrying a load of 200 kg, what new force would be required to achieve the same acceleration?arrow_forward

As the angle of inclination of the ramp increases, the object suddenly begins to slide. Which of the following explanations best accounts for the object's movement? a. The coefficient of static friction has decreased sufficiently. b. The force of gravity acting on the object has increased sufficiently. c. The component of gravity along the ramp has increased sufficiently. d. The friction has decreased sufficiently while the normal force has remained unchanged. e. The normal force has increased sufficiently.arrow_forward60. An 8.0-kilogram block and a 2.0-kilogram block rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. When horizontal force F is applied to the 8.0-kilogram block, it accelerates at 5.0 meters per second east. If the same force was applied to the 2.0-kilogram block, the magnitude of the block's acceleration would be (1) 1.3 m/s2 (2) 2.5 m/s2 (3) 10. m/s2 (4) 20. m/s SHOW WORK, CIRCLE ANSWER, WRITE NEATarrow_forward
