1. A cart is being pulled along a horizontal track by an external force (a weight hanging over the table edge) and accelerating. It shoots a ball straight up (vertically) out of a spring launcher as it moves. (The ball has a very small mass in relation to the cart). After it is fired, what happens to the BALL? 1) it depends on how fast the cart is moving 2) it falls behind the cart 3) it falls in front of the cart 4) it falls right back into the cart 2. The same cart is now rolling down a smooth inclined track and accelerating. It shoots a ball straight up (vertically) out of a spring launcher as it moves. After it is fired, what happens to the BALL? 1) it depends on how fast the cart is moving 2) it falls behind the cart 3) it falls in front of the cart 4) it falls right back into the cart

1. A cart is being pulled along a horizontal track by an external force (a weight hanging over the
table edge) and accelerating. It shoots a ball straight up (vertically) out of a spring launcher as it
moves. (The ball has a very small mass in relation to the cart). After it is fired, what happens to
the BALL?
1) it depends on how fast the cart is moving
