A wheeled cart is moving to the right at a constant speed. Two forces of equal magnitude are acting upon the cart. Which of the following best describes the forces and motion of the cart?

Balanced Forces, Constant Speed

Unbalanced Forces, Constant Speed

Unbalanced Forces, Acceleration

Why does a book on a table not move?

Forces of the table pushing up and gravity pulling down are balanced

No forces are acting on the book

Gravity is the only force acting on the book

Which answer choice best explains why tractor trailers take more time to speed up & slow down than regular cars?

Tractor trailers have more mass and require more force to move.

Tractor trailers have less mass and require less force to move.

Tractor trailers have less mass and require more force to move.

Tractor trailers have more mass and require less force to move.

The unusual strength of a glue makes it able to hold a heavy object, or load, as shown in the diagram. If the load exerts a strong downward force, the glue -

exerts an upward force that is equal to the downward force

exerts a stronger downward force

causes the load to accelerate upward

Two forces are applied to a 17 kg box, as shown. The box is on a smooth surface. Which statement best describes the acceleration of the box?

The box accelerates at 1.0 m/s 2 to the right because the net force is 17 N to the right.

The box accelerates at 1.9 m/s 2 to the right because the grater force is to the right.

The box accelerates at 3.0 m/s 2 because the combined forces cause the box to accelerate.

The box does not accelerate, because neither force is large enough to move the box.

The list includes six situations. Which objects in the list experience an unbalanced force?

The can, the swing, and the bird

The book, the ball, and the car

The ball, the car, and the bird

The book, the ball, the can, and the swing

The diagram shows two different forces acting on a cyclist riding a bicycle. The total mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 100.0 kg. Based on this information, what is the acceleration of the cyclist?

0.66 m/s 2 forward, because the applied force is greater than the force of the air

0.66 m/s 2 backward, because the force of the air slows the cyclist down

2.3 m/s 2 backward, because the forces are opposite and not equal

2.3 m/s 2 forward, because the cyclist's inertia is greater than the force of the air
