Two forces are applied to a 4.0 kg cart on a rough surface as shown. At a certain instant, force A is 32 N to the right, and force B is 20 N to the left. The friction force is 2.0 N. What is the acceleration of the cart at this instant, in m/s2? (Hint: What is the direction of the friction in this case? Draw a free-body diagram.) Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

For each of five trials, find the acceleration from ax= (twice distance glider moves)/(time squared) The glider & hanging mass have the same acceleration, and we will call to the left the +x direction for the glider, and down the +x direction for the hanging mass. Using Microsoft Excel, plot a graph of the acceleration vs. the size of the hanging mass. Make sure the graph contains all of the features it should. This graph should have points that follow a straight line. Add a linear trendline to the graph and also display the equation for this line on the graph. We can show that Newton’s Laws predict that the acceleration should be ax=m2g/m1+m2 (3) where m1 is the glider’s mass and m2 is the amount of hanging mass. Equation (3) tells us that the predicted slope of your a x vs. m2 graph should be equal to g/(m1+ m2). Calculate the predicted value of the slope, and then find the percent error between it and the experimental value of the slope. When you do the % error calculation,…
