The figures below show the motion of three different moving particles (Cars A, B, and C). Each dot represents the position of the car at successive 1-second time intervals. For example, for Car A, the dot labeled t1 indicates its initial position while the t2 dot shows the position 1 second later, the t3 dot is one second after that, and so on. Which car has no unbalanced force acting on it?

As part a of the drawing shown, two blocks are connected by a rope that passes over a set of pulleys. The block 1 has a weight of 400 N, and the block 2 has a weight of 600 N. The rope and the pulleys are mass less and there is no friction. What is the acceleration of the lighter block?
A 2.00 kg stone is sliding to the right on a frictionless horizontal surface at 5.00 m/s when it is suddenly struck by an object that exerts a large horizontal force on it for a short period of time. The graph in the figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of this force as a function of time. Just after the force stops acting, find the magnitude of the stone's velocity if the force acts to the right and find the magnitude of the stone's velocity if the force acts to the left.
The car manufacturer wants to see how the mass of the car affects the force required to accelerate the car by the same amount. A second set of trials are run in order to see how much force is needed to accelerate cars of different masses.

A rope pulls on the lower block in the figure with a force of 46.2 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the surface is 0.1. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the upper block is also 0.1. Consider the pulley/ropes to be massless and frictionless. The upper block's mass is 2.5 kg. The lower block's mass is 4 kg. What is the acceleration of the lower block? Express your answer in m/s2. Your result must contain at least one digit after the decimal point

Three stacked blocks are placed in an elevator as shown: Assume the stack of blocks is in contact with the floor of the elevator. If m = 11.9 kg and the elevator is accelerating upward at 1.9 m/s2, what is the normal force exerted on the 5m block by the 8m block? Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
Three blocks, light connecting ropes, and a light frictionless pulley comprise a system, as shown in the figure. An external force of magnitude P is applied downward on block A, causing block A to accelerate downward at a constant 2.5 m/s2. The tension in the rope connecting block B and block C is equal to 60 N. What is the magnitude of the force P? What is the mass of block C? Please include detailed answers with net force equations.
In the diagram, block A has a mass of 1.0 kg; block B’s mass is 4.0 kg. They are pushed with a force of magnitude 40 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between both blocks and the surface is 0.30. Make complete FBDs for each block, as well as for the system as a whole. Please take the time to include all subscripts: remember, nAB means “normal force of A on B”. What is the acceleration of the blocks? With what force does A push on B? B push on A?
