A bus moving forward suddenly stops. A standing passenger tends to keep moving forward. Which idea explains this?
Two carts are on the same track. Cart A has a mass of 1.0 kg, and cart B has a mass of 4.0 kg. Which cart has more inertia?
An ice skater pushes off, then glides straight across very smooth ice at nearly constant speed. After the push ends, what horizontal force is needed to maintain the glide?
A parachutist falls straight downward at terminal velocity. What is the relationship between weight and air resistance?
A soccer ball rolls right on grass and slows down. After the kick, which force changes its velocity?
A spacecraft far from planets moves in a straight line at 700 m/s with its engines off. What will its velocity be one hour later?
In a tug-of-war, the marker at the center of the rope stays at rest. Considering the rope section as the system, what is true of the horizontal pulls?
A worker pushes a heavy crate with 80 N to the right, but the crate remains at rest. What does static friction do?
A train travels north on a straight track at a constant 20 m/s. How do the engine force and total resistive force compare?
A hockey puck slides left at constant velocity on nearly frictionless ice. What is the horizontal net force on it?
A 1200 kg car travels straight at constant 25 m/s. The road pushes the car forward with +850 N. Taking forward as positive, what is the total resistive force?
