Using the question to the left (fill in the blank) select the appropriate answer below. Be sure to read the scenario on the top of page #2 first!
Using the question to the left (fill in the blank) select the appropriate answer below. Be sure to read the scenario on the top of page #2 first!

In the following scenario, correctly label the mass to design a system with a balanced force. After, calculate the net force on the system. What mass should you use to make this system balanced?

In the following scenario, correctly select a mass to design a system with an unbalanced force moving to the right. After, calculate the net force on the system.
You can select from the following masses: 2 kg, 5 kg, 8 kg, or 10 kg.
Calculate the force due to gravity acting on mass #2 (the right side) in the space below: (again, skip units)
Calculate the force due to gravity acting on mass #1 (the left side) in the space below: (again, skip units)
Calculate the net force in the system acting on each object in the space below, by taking Force (Acting on Mass #2) - Force (Acting on Mass #1) = Net Force
Again, skip units
Label the (left) definition as the appropriate law below:
Label the (right) definition as the appropriate law below:
Calculate the total force acting on the object if the object has a mass of 5 kilograms and an acceleration of 2 m/s/s. Fill in the equation below with the appropriate variables: (do not include units)
Calculate the total force acting on the object if the object has a mass of 22 kilograms and an acceleration of 6 m/s/s. Fill in the equation below with the appropriate variables: (do not include units)
Calculate the force due to gravity acting on mass #2 (the right side) in the space below: (again, skip units)
Calculate the force due to gravity acting on mass #1 (the left side) in the space below: (again, skip units)
Calculate the net force in the system acting on each object in the space below, by taking Force (Acting on Mass #2) - Force (Acting on Mass #1) = Net Force
Again, skip units
