Question 6.2 Three Blocks
Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and a) T1 > T2 > T3
m are connected by strings and b) T1 < T2 < T3
pulled with constant acceleration a.
c) T1 = T2 = T3
What is the relationship between

the tension in each of the strings?
e) tensions are random

Generally, the reason that the box in the truck bed would move
with the truck is due to friction between the box and the bed.
If there is no friction, there is no force to push the box along,
and it remains at rest. The truck accelerated away, essentially
leaving the box behind!!
Question 6.5 Antilock Brakes
Antilock brakes keep the
a) m k > m s so sliding friction is better
car wheels from locking
b) m k > m s so static friction is better
and skidding during a
sudden stop. Why does c) m s > m k so sliding friction is better
this help slow the car d) m s > m k so static friction is better
down? e) none of the above

Question 6.6 Going Sledding
Your little sister wants a) pushing her from behind
you to give her a ride
b) pulling her from the front
on her sled. On level
c) both are equivalent
ground, what is the
easiest way to d) it is impossible to move the sled
accomplish this? e) tell her to get out and walk

Question 6.7 Will It Budge?
a) moves to the left
A box of weight 100 N is at rest
on a floor where ms = 0.4. A b) moves to the right

Question 6.8a Sliding Down I
A box sits on a flat board. a) component of the gravity force
parallel to the plane increased
You lift one end of the
board, making an angle b) coefficient of static friction
with the floor. As you decreased
increase the angle, the c) normal force exerted by the board
box will eventually begin decreased
to slide down. Why? d) both #1 and #3
e) all of #1, #2, and #3

Question 6.8b Sliding Down II
A mass m is placed on an a) not move at all
inclined plane (m > 0) and
b) slide a bit, slow down, then stop
slides down the plane with
constant speed. If a similar c) accelerate down the incline
block (same m) of mass 2m d) slide down at constant speed
were placed on the same e) slide up at constant speed
incline, it would:
N
The component of gravity acting down f
the plane is double for 2m. However,
the normal force (and hence the friction
Wy
force) is also double (the same factor!). q

This means the two forces still cancel
