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.)
Repeat Exercise 3.16 using analytical techniques, but reverse the order of the two legs of the walk and show that you get the same final result. (This problem shows that adding them in reverse order gives the same result that is, B+A=A+B ) Discuss how taking another path to reach the same point might help to overcome an obstacle blocking you other path.

Describe two major discoveries or contributions that Galileo made to science and the study of mechanics.
Consider Concept Map 1,1, which provides an overview of motion. Review Sections 1,2 and 1,3 and make a list of at least five additional concepts you could add to the map. Now consider where to place these concepts on the map. Keep in mind that general, more inclusive concepts go towards the top, whereas more specific ideas and examples go toward the bottom. Place your concepts on the map. Draw the possible connections between your five new concepts and the rest of the map. Remember to use "linking words'' to create propositions and to express your ideas clearly. When you've finished updating your map, compare your revised concept map with that of a classmate's. Are they identical? Would you expect them to be?
An ice sled powered by a rocket engine sum from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at + 40 ft/s2. After some time t1, the rocket engine is shut down and the sled moves with constant velocity v for a time t2. If the total distance traveled by the sled is 17 500 ft and the total time is 90 s. find (a) the times t1 and t2 and (b) the velocity v. At the 17 500-ft mark, the sled begins to accelerate at 20 ft/s2. (c) What is the final position of the sled when it comes to rest? (d) How long does it take to come to rest?
In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m and the acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times the acceleration due to gravity, g. How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)
