PART 3 Complete Question # 1 and ONE other question.Each Question Valued 10 for a total value of 20.
1. A lab cart is set in motion, by hand, on a frictionless incline. Once the cart has been given its motion, only the force of gravity acts on it, and thus gravity controls its velovity on the incline.The three `velocity Vs time` curves presented in the graph below result from three different angles for the incline. The inlcine-angles, above the horizontal, are in random order, 10 ∙, 20 and 25 degrees.
Note that students are expected to associate each curve with its correct incline whose size is given in degrees above the horizontal
Question and answer on the next slide. You will have to flip back and forth to see graph and answer.
A Interpret the lab results from the previous page and complete the table below.
The initial section of each curve with negative slopes indicate the cart’s motion while being pushed. The nearly straight line sections with positive slope indicate the cart’s constant acceleration and down the incline. The bottom of the curves that end on the x-axis is where the cart was stopped and at the bottom of the incline.

Mechanical theory proclaims that the acceleration of an object due to gravity on a frictionless incline is found usingthe relationship….
a = g sin θ where a - is the acceleration on the incline. θ - is the size of the incline in degrees g – is the acceleration due to gravity.
B Using the information from the table on the previous page, plot a curve a Vs sinθ on the gridbelow.
You should get a line something like this.
C Determine the slope of the above curve and using the accepted valve of g =9.8m/s2, find the % discrepancy for the experimental value for g .

Even though the road is slick, the car will stay on the road without any friction between its tires and the road when its speed is 24.0 m/s. Note that we choose the positive y axis to point vertical and the positive x direction to point toward the center of the circular path.

3. When you arrive at Duke’s Dude Ranch, you are greeted by the large wooden sign shown in the figure below. The left end of the sign is held in place by a bolt, the right end is tied to a rope that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. If the sign is uniform, 3.20 m long, and has a mass of 16.0 kg, What is :(a) the tension in the rope(b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force, F, exerted by the bolt? (c) the Force on the bolt F?
note that from the sign’s point of view the situation is symmetric: it has a movable support at each end and doesn’t “know” whether the support is a wall or a wire. So, the force at the wall bolt is the same as it would be if the wall were instead a wire running up and to the right at 20.0° above horizontal. By symmetry, f = T and Fy 2T sin mg 0.
