A car accelerates from rest when a traffic light turns green. A cup of coffee that was sitting on the dashboard of the car falls into the driver's lap. The driver could rightly argue that the cup's apparent motion was due to its inertia. It had a tendency to stay still and the car accelerated from beneath it. True False

A child jumping off the monkey bars at a playground accelerates toward the ground because of the gravitational force exerted on him by the Earth. From Newtons third law, the force exerted by the Earth on the child is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the child on the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate? Explain.

A machine at a post office sends packages out a chute and down a ramp to be loaded into delivery vehicles. (a) Calculate the acceleration of a box heading down a 10.0slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for a parcel on waxed wood is 0.100. (b) Find the angle of the slope down which this box could move at a constant velocity. You can neglect air resistance in both parts.
