Bob pushes on a friction-less cart and the cart has an acceleration of 8 m/s?. With this Information, answer the following two questions: Pre-Lab Question #1: If Bill pushes twice as hard on an identical 2F cart, what will be the acceleration? Pre-Lab Question #2: If Joann pushes half as hard as Bob, on a cart with half the mass, what will be the acceleration?

The engines in a supertanker carrying crude oil produce a net force of 20,000,000 N on the ship. If the resulting acceleration is 0. 1 m/s2, what is the ship’s mass?
When you take off in a jet aircraft, there is a sensation of being pushed back into the seat. Explain why you move backward in the seat—is there really a force backward on you? (The same reasoning explains whiplash injuries, in which the head is apparently thrown backward.)
Suppose you jump from the cliffs of Acapulco and perform aperfect swan dive. As you fall, you exert an upward force on theEarth equal in magnitude to the downward force the Earth exerts on you. Why, then, does it seem that you are the one doingall the accelerating? Since the forces are the same, why aren’tthe accelerations? Draw and Explain.
A T-Rex is trying to jump straight up. If he has a mass of 5200 kg, and we know that the acceleration against him due to gravity is 9.80 m/s^2, then how much force will he have to exert to clear the ground? Be sure to state your answer using the correct number of significant digits.
A net force of 200N is applied to a lrage object, causing its velocity to change from 30 km/h to 20 km/h in 2.3 seconds. What is the objects acceleration? What is its mass?
a 2000-kg car initially at rest is held by a friction force that can resist up to 1200 N. If the person can push with a force of 500 N, what is the minimum number of people needed to overcome the friction force? What is the accleration?
"Three blocks (labeled 1,2, and 3), each with different mass, have a forceexerted on them. The resulting acceleration is plotted below. The mass of block 2 is 36kg. What are the masses of the other two blocks?" I used the slopes of each acceleration, like a1= 3, a2= 1, a3 =0.4, but now what?
What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block?
What if we have air resistance in the environment? Will there be any differences? Justify your answer by using Newton’s 2nd Law.
Bob pushes on a frictionless cart of mass 18.1 kg and the cart has an acceleration of 19.1 m/s2. If his friend Bill pushes twice as hard on an identical cart, what will be the acceleration (in m/s2)?
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.
Bob pushes on a frictionless cart of mass 15.2 kg and the cart has an acceleration of 16.6 m/s2. If Bob now pushes twice as hard on a cart with twice the mass, what will be the acceleration of the heavier cart (in m/s2)?
