In the diagram, a mass of exactly 4.000 kg is sitting on a flat board. A spring scale is attached to the mass. A reading of 17.64 N is needed to start to drag the mass over the board. (g = 9.810 m/s^2)

What is the value of the normal force on the mass in the above situation?

• 17.64 N

• 39.24 N

• 9.810 N

• 0.0 N

When a net force of 3 N is applied to a 0.75 kg cart, the cart's velocity changes from 0.2 m/s to 1.8 m/s in 0.4 s. Suppose that by adding masses, the total mass of the cart doubles. If the same force is applied for the same amount of time, what will the cart's change in velocity be, in m/s?

• 1.6 m/s

• 0.8 m/s

• 0.4 m/s

• 3.2
