Chapter 6, Problem 43EAP
The piston of a machine exerts a constant force on a ball as it move horizontally through a distance of 15 cm. You use a motion detector to measure the speed of five different balls as they come off the piston; the data are shown in the table. Use theory to find two quantities that, when graphed, should give a straight line. Then use the graph to find the size of the piston's force.
| Mass (g) | Speed (m/s) |
| 200 | 9.4 |
| 400 | 6.3 |
| 600 | 5.2 |
| 800 | 4.9 |
| 100 | 4.0 |

I forgot my car in a no - parking zone. A tow truck pulled it away. The truck exerted a force of 4000 N on my car. There was friction between the car’s tires and the ground, and the force of friction was 600 N. My car was moving with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. What is the mass of my car? Write the solution to this question showing all the steps. Do not forget the units on your final answer.
