Activity 2-1: Pushing and Pulling a Cart In this activity you will move the low friction IOLab by pushing and pulling it with your hand. You will measure the force, velocity, and acceleration vs. time. Then you will be able to look for mathematical relationships between the force applied to the IOLab and the velocity and/or acceleration, to see whether either velocity or acceleration (or neither) is related to the force. Set up the IOLab and force sensor hook on a smooth level surface as shown below. Prediction 2-1: Suppose you grasp the force sensor hook and move the IOLab forward and backward. Do you think that either the velocity graph, the acceleration graph or neither will look like the force graph? velocity acceleration neither velocity nor acceleration

(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) A woman is riding on a train while watching the display on her GPS unit. She notices that both the speed’ and the “speed” readings are not changing. What can the stir conclude about the net force acting on the train car?
Check Your Understanding Suppose that Balto in Example 2.10 leaves the game to attend to more important matter, but Astro Clifford and Dug continue playing. Astro and Clifford’s pull on the toy does not change, but Dug rims around and bites on the toy in a different place. With how big a force and in what direction must Dug pull on the toy now to balance out the combined pulls from Clifford and Astro? Illustrate this situation by drawing a vector diagram indicating all forces involved.
Imagine that you have built a large room around the people in Figure 24.4 and that this room is falling at exactly the same rate as they are. Galileo showed that if there is no air friction, light and heavy objects that are dropping due to gravity will fall at the same rate. Suppose that this were not true and that instead heavy objects fall faster. Also suppose that the man in Figure 24.4 is twice as massive as the woman. What would happen? Would this violate the equivalence principle? Figure 24.4 Free Fall. Two people play catch as they descend into a bottomless abyss. Since the people and ball all fall at the same speed, it appears to them that they can play catch by throwing the ball in a straight line between them. Within their frame of reference, there appears to be no gravity.

During 200-meter and 400-meter races, runners must stay in lanes as they go around a curved part of the track. If runners in two different lanes have exactly the same speed, will they also have exactly the same centripetal acceleration as they go around a curve? Explain.

The following are speeds and headings displayed on a GPS receiver, (Heading gives the direction of motion based on north = 0°, east = 90°, south = 180°, etc,) In each case, indicate whether the receiver was accelerating during the time between the displays and, if it was, describe in what way the receiver was accelerating.

Newton's laws of motion and gravity were among the first to convincingly demonstrate the underlying simplicity and unity in nature. Many other examples have since been discovered, and we now expect to find such underlying order in complex situations. Is there proof that such order will always be found in new explorations?
Try the following experiment away from traffic: where you can do it Safely. With the car VOU are driving moving slowly on a Straight, level road, shift the transmission into neutral and let the car coast. At the moment the car comes to a complete slop, step hard on the ln.ike and notice what you feel. Now repeal I he same experiment on a fairly gentle, uphill slope. Explain the difference in what a pet son tiding in the car feels in the two cases. (Brian Popp suggested the idea for this question.)
