2. Question #1
A car is sitting in a parking lot at rest. What are the net forces on the car?

3. Question #2
John is driving along the highway at a speed of 60 mph. He then puts the car in cruise control so that he maintains that speed. What is the net force on the car?

4. Question #3
A cart is pushed to the right with a force of 5 Newtons. At the same time, someone is pulling the cart to the right with a force of 10 Newtons. What is the net force on the cart?

5. Question #4
A cart is pushed to the right with a force of 5 Newtons. At the same time, someone is pulling the cart to the right with a force of 10 Newtons. If the cart has a total mass of 4 kg, what is the cart’s acceleration (include direction)?

6. Question #5
A basket of apples is pulled to the right. The basket experiences a small friction force to the left. The pull force is larger than the friction force so the basket accelerates to the right.
Using the equation F= M x A, explain what you could do to reduce the acceleration of the basket.

7. Question #6
A box pushed across the floor with a force of 8 Newtons experiences a friction force of 7 Newtons. What is the net force on the box?

8. Question #7
A box pushed across the floor with a force of 8 Newtons experiences a friction force of 9 Newtons. If the box has a total mass of 5 kg, what is the acceleration of the box?

9. Question #8
Is the box speeding up or slowing down? How do you know?
