The free-body diagrams of four objects are shown.

Newton’s third law of motion says that for every action there is a(n) and opposite reaction.
A sports car and a minivan run out of gas and are pushed to the side of the road. Which is easier to push, and why?
According to Newton’s first law of motion, what will an object in motion do when no external force acts on it?
The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s2. What is the weight of a car on Earth (to the nearest whole number) if it has a mass of 1360 kg?
Tracy stands on a skateboard and tosses her backpack to her friend who is standing in front of her. Which best describes the acceleration Tracy experiences?
Students are completing a lab in which they let a lab cart roll down a ramp. The students record the mass of the cart, the height of the ramp, and the velocity at the bottom of the ramp. The students then calculate the momentum of the cart at the bottom of the ramp.Which trial’s cart has the greatest momentum at the bottom of the ramp?

[BLANK]
An object pulled to the right by two forces has an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. The free-body diagram shows the forces acting on the object.

Two carts, one of mass 2m and one of mass m, approach each other with the same speed, v. When the carts collide, they hook together. Assume that positive momentum is to the right.Which graph best represents the momentum of both carts over time, before and after the collision?





A rocket experiences a constant force even as the amount of fuel in its fuel tanks decreases. What happens to the acceleration of the rocket as it runs out of fuel?
A ball is dropped from the top of a building. It initially moves at 4.0 m/s. After 0.5 seconds, it moves at 3.8 m/s.
A box is sitting on the floor. The box was then pulled with a force, Ft. The box did not move. The free-body diagram of the box is shown.

What is the mass of an object if a net force of 8.0 N causes it to accelerate at 1.1 m/s2?
A ball has a mass of 0.25 kg and is moving to the right at 1.0 m/s. It hits a ball of mass 0.15 kg that is initially at rest. After the collision, the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right with a velocity of 0.75 m/s.
A 0.25 kg baseball is in contact with a bat for 0.0075 s and exerts a force of 18,500 N. What impulse is delivered to the ball?




A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.
Which object is in static equilibrium?
Two blocks are initially at rest with a compressed spring between them. When the spring is released, the 2m block moves to the left and the m block moves to the right. This represents an inelastic collision in a closed system.
