If the acceleration of a system is zero, are no external forces acting on it? What about internal forces? Explain your answers.
Which statement is correct? (a) Net force causes motion. (b) Net force causes change in motion. Explain your answer and give an example.
When you push a piece of chalk across a chalkboard, it sometimes screeches because it rapidly alternates between slipping and sticking to the board. Describe this process in more detail, in particular explaining how it is related to the fact that kinetic friction is less than static friction. (The same slip-grab process occurs when tires screech on pavement.)
The wheels of a midsize car exert a force of 2100 N backward on the road to accelerate the car in the forward direction. If the force of friction including air resistance is 250 N and the acceleration of the car is 1.80 m/s2, what is the mass of the car plus its occupants? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
When a paper towel is torn from a roll on a rack, a jerking motion tears the towel better than a slow pull. Why? Does this method work better when the roll is large or when it is small and near the end? Explain.
Your hands are wet, and the restroom towel dispenser is empty. What do you do to get drops of water off your hands? How does the motion of the drops exemplify one of Newtons laws? Which one?
According to Newtons second law of motion, when an object is acted upon by an unbalanced force, what can be said about the acceleration? (3.3) (a) It is inversely proportional to the objects mass. (b) It is zero. (c) It is inversely proportional to the net force. (d) It is independent of mass.

Q3. The 100 kg log is pulled by a constant tension force of 1000 N from rest. Determine the velocity of the log corresponding a distance of 3 m
Derek pushes a 10kg crate along a rough surface with 35N of force. He observes that it is only accelerating at a rate of 2*(m/s^2). What must the value of the force of friction be? (Assume the only two forces acting on the object are friction and Derek).
Does changing the mass of the object affect the acceleration? I was to conduct an experiment where the motion of an object sliding on an inclined air track under the influence of gravity is observed. In order to demonstrate the effects of force while minimizing friction, the air track has lines of holes drilled along the top faces. My thought process: because f=ma I thought yes, but I have also gathered data that shows me that increasing mass does not necessarily mean increasing/decreasing a.
football quarterback throws a 0.107 kg football for a long pass. While in the motion of throwing, the quarterback moves the ball 2.697 m , starting from rest, and completes the motion in 0.892 s . Assuming the acceleration is constant, what force does the quarterback apply to the ball during the pass? Fthrow = _________________ N *Round to the nearest thousandth if necessary.
