PhET Tutorial: Forces in 1D
Learning Goal:
To understand the relationship between applied force, net force, acceleration, and mass for 1-dimensional motion.
For this problem, use the PhET simulation Forces in 1D Motion. This simulation allows you to push on different objects with a certain horizontal force and see the resulting motion. You can control the mass of the object and its coefficient of friction. While the object is being pushed, you can see graphs showing the force, velocity, acceleration, and/or position as a function of time.
Click on Graph Applied Force if the graph showing forces isn
Explanation / Answer
Part I:
It slows down with an acceleration of a= ?2m/s2.
