Chapter 4, Problem 74GP
* Emily pulls a 5-kg block across a rough horizontal surface, exerting a constant force on the block. The magnitude of the force is initially 5 N, and the block moves at a constant velocity of 2 m/s. While the block is moving, Emily instantly increases the force to 10 N. How will the block move now?
Andrew says: The block will move at a constant velocity of 4 m/s because it was initially moving with constant velocity and the final force is two times larger than the initial force.
Jasit says: The block will move at a constant acceleration of 2 m/s because the sum of the forces exerted on the block is 10 N and the mass of the block is 5 kg.
Mary says: The block will move at a constant acceleration of

Students place the end of a wooden board on some books so that the board can be used as an inclined plane. The
students release a ball at the top of the inclined plane and measure the time for the ball to reach the bottom
of the ramp. The students perform three trials. The students then cover the board with a cloth and follow the same
procedure as before. The data are graphed below.
Part A
Describe two forces acting on the ball during the investigation.
Part B
Explain why the ball takes more time to roll down the ramp with a cloth surface.
Part C
Explain why the students repeated the investigation three times.
Part D
Explain how the ball's energy changes as the ball moves down the ramp.

- A car is moving forward slowly and is speeding up. A student claims that the car exerts a force on itself or that the cars engine exerts a force on the car. (a) Argue that this idea cannot be accurate and that friction exerted by the road is the propulsive force on the car. Make your evidence and reasoning as persuasive as possible. (b) Is it static or kinetic friction? Suggestions: Consider a road covered with light gravel. Consider a sharp print of the tire tread on an asphalt road, obtained by coating the tread with dust.arrow_forwardIn a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.2 (d) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.8arrow_forwardIn a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks.
