Ava, James, and Evelyn are having a blast in their physics class, exploring Newton's laws. They've got a cool setup with a toy car of known mass tied to one end of a string, looped over a frictionless pulley, with the other end tied to a hanging mass. The toy car, initially at rest, starts rolling without slipping when released. The wheels of the toy car have negligible inertia. They have all the common laboratory equipment to measure the components of the system.

Feeling adventurous, they decide to double the hanging mass and replace the original toy car with a new one that's twice as heavy. What do you think will happen to the tension in the string and the acceleration of the toy car when both masses are doubled?

a)

The tension and the acceleration will double.

James, Abigail, and Anika observe a physics demonstration involving two different cases of a block being pulled by a string. They notice that the blocks accelerate in both cases. However, in Case 2 the block reaches the edge of the table in less time even though the force exerted on the string in this case is the same as the weight of the hanging object in Case 1. How can this be?

a)

This can't be. In both cases 98 N of force are exerted on the string so both blocks should have the same acceleration and reach the edge of the table at the same time.

b)

This is because the tension in the string in Case 1 is less than in Case 2.

c)

This is because Newton's 3rd law states that block M exerts an equal but opposite force on the table as the table does on the block.
