Question

You have a 200 gram cart attached to a string, and at the other end of the string is a 17 gram weight that is attached.

Calculate the force due to gravity upon the weight
Fw=

Calculate the total mass of the system
Mt=

Calculate the acceleration of the cart
a=

Having the same setup, answer the following questions:

Without changing the mass of the hanging weight, how can you have a lower acceleration in your system?

Without changing the mass of the cart, how can you increase the acceleration of the system?

Thank you so much!!

a)Fw=0.017*9.81=0.1668N

b)Mt=0.017+0.200=0.217g

c)a=(0.2-0.017)*9.81/(0.217)=8.27m/s^2

d)place the cart on an incline.

e)place the mass on an incline.
