1. Make a sketch of how you think the acceleration vs. mass graph will look for carts with different masses released from rest from the top of an inclined track. 2. Do you think the acceleration of the cart increases, decreases, or stays the same as the mass of the cart increases? Explain your reasoning.

An airbag in an automobile inflates when a collision occurs, which protects the passenger from serious injury (see the photo on page 254). Why does the airbag soften the blow? Discuss the physics involved in this dramatic photograph.
In this chapter, you've encountered a large number of concepts it related to forces and motion. Organizing a concept map might help clarify the meanings of many of these concepts for you. As a stall, you examine Concept Map 2.2 pertaining to the concept of "net force" created by a student who had previously taken an introductory physics course. Unfortunately, this student had some misconceptions about this topic, so there are some blatant errors in the concept map. Locate and correct as many of these errors as you can. (hint: Carefully inspect the linking words used to connect the concepts and consider the meanings of the "propositions" they make.)
Which statement is correct? (a) Net force causes motion. (b) Net force causes change in motion. Explain your answer and give an example.
Q1 How does the force exerted by the more massive car on the less massive car compare to the force exerted by the less massive car on the more massive car?Q2 Using Newton’s 2nd Law, explain why the less massive car “feels” the collision more.
1. Look at the data: as the net force increased, what happened to the acceleration? Did it increase, decrease or stay constant? Why? 2. Did a change in the net force produce a change in acceleration by the same factor? Do the results agree with Newton’s 2nd Law?? Explain
Driving home from school one day, you spot a ball rolling out into the street (see the figure (Figure 1)). You brake for 1.20 s, slowing your 950-kg car from 16.0 m/s to 9.50 m/s. Part A: What was the magnitude of the average force exerted on your car during braking? in Netwons

A block is given an initial speed of 4.8 m/sm/s up the 29 ∘ 1) How far up the plane will it go? Express your answer using two significant figures. 2)How much time elapses before it returns to its starting point? Ignore friction. Caption: Block on inclined plane. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Researchers have measured the acceleration of racing greyhounds as a function of their speed; a simplified version of their results is shown in (Figure 1). The acceleration at low speeds is constant and is limited by the fact that any greater acceleration would result in the dog pitching forward because of the force acting on its hind legs during its power stroke. At higher speeds, the dog's acceleration is limited by the maximum power its muscles can provide. a)If the dog's mass is 32 kg, what is the average force acting on it during its initial acceleration phase? b)How far does the dog run until its speed reaches 2.0 m/s?
1. A man pulls a crate with a rope. The crate slides along the floor in the horizontal direction (x direction). The man exerts a force of 50 N on the rope, and the rope is at an angle . Describe how the force components change as the angle increases from 0° to 90° and use your graph to explain your answer. Give a detailed explanation of the forces at 0 = 0°,45°, and 90°. Show a sample calculation at one angle for both components.
A 14.8 kg load of bricks (m1) hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley, called an Atwood’s machine. A 27.4 kg counterweight (m2) is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in (Figure 1). The system is released from rest. What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks? a = ? What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving? T = ? How does the tension compare to the weight of the load of bricks? The tension is greater than the weight of the load of bricks. The tension is less than the weight of the load of bricks. The tension is equal to the weight of the load of bricks. How does the tension compare to the weight of the counterweight? The tension is greater than the weight of the counterweight. The tension is less than the weight of the counterweight. The tension is equal to the weight of the counterweight.
