Poll
A block of mass M is set on a rough table and is connected to a string that passes over an ideal pulley. In Case 1, the free end of the string is connected to a hanging 10 kg mass.
In Case 2, the hanging object is removed and a person grabs the free end of the string and pulls with a constant force equal to 98 N, the weight of the hanging object in Case 1.
In both cases, the block is released from rest the same distance from the right edge of the table. With which statement do you agree?

Multiple Choice
Ari and Bella observe the demonstration and notice that the blocks accelerate in both cases. However, in Case 2 the block reaches the edge of the table in less time even though the force exerted on the string in this case is the same as the weight of the hanging object in Case 1. How can this be?

Multiple Select
Apply Newton's 2nd Law to Case 1 with both the hanging block, m, and the block on the table, M, in the system. Select all forces that must be considered when applying Newton's 2nd law in the direction of acceleration.

Multiple Select
Apply Newton's 2nd Law to Case 1 with both the hanging block, m, and the block on the table, M, in the system. What masses must be included in the calculation?

Multiple Choice
How would Newton's 2nd Law for Case 2 differ, where the system is mass, M?
A block of mass M is set on a rough table and is connected to a string that passes over an ideal pulley. In Case 1, the free end of the string is connected to a hanging 10 kg mass.
In Case 2, the hanging object is removed and a person grabs the free end of the string and pulls with a constant force equal to 98 N, the weight of the hanging object in Case 1.
In both cases, the block is released from rest the same distance from the right edge of the table. With which statement do you agree?
