Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.78 Force, Motion, and Graphs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A low-friction cart rolls right into a spring bumper and then rebounds left. Which visual model best predicts the force and motion during contact with the bumper?
AModel B: the bumper force points right while the cart speeds up into the bumper
BModel C: all forces are balanced while the cart reverses direction
CModel D: gravity points left and pushes the cart away from the bumper
DModel A: the bumper force points left while the cart's speed decreases to zero and then the cart moves left
Solution & Explanation:The bumper pushes the incoming cart opposite its motion. That leftward force slows the cart, stops it briefly, and can make it rebound left.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
In a same-mass cart investigation, a 6 N net force produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. If the net force is increased to 15 N on the same cart, what acceleration in m/s2 is expected?
Solution & Explanation:The mass stays the same. From 6 N / 2 m/s2, the mass is 3 kg. With 15 N, acceleration is 15 N / 3 kg = 5 m/s2.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A cart moving right slows to a stop, then moves left faster and faster. Which position-time graph best matches the full motion?
AGraph C: position stays flat at zero the whole time
BGraph B: position rises in a straight line forever
CGraph A: position rises, flattens at a highest point, then curves downward more steeply
DGraph D: position decreases steadily, then becomes horizontal
Solution & Explanation:Moving right means position rises. Stopping means the graph flattens at a turning point. Moving left faster and faster means the graph curves downward with increasing steepness.
