This document contains a 4 question quiz about forces and Newton's laws of motion. Question 1 asks about the tension in a rope attached to an elevator. Question 2 asks about the tension in a rope connecting two masses on a pulley. Question 3 asks students to identify Newton's third law pairs. Question 4 provides a multi-part question about the motion of two connected blocks being pulled by ropes. It involves drawing free body diagrams, calculating acceleration, and tensions.

Quiz 3C — Feb. 22nd, 2019 Discussion Section #:_________________________

Q1) A box of mass "m = 10 kg is attached to the ceiling of an elevator by a rope with tension T
" .

a) If the elevator descends at a constant speed, what is the tension in the rope? (1 pt)

A) "T < mg

B) "T > mg

C) T
" = mg

b) Now assume that the elevator is ascending with a speed of 10 m/s and is gaining speed at a steady rate of 4.0 m/s2.

What is the tension in the rope? Use g" = 10 m/s2 and show all work! (2 pt)

" = _____________
T

Q2) Two masses ("m1 and m


" 2) are connected by a massless rope which runs over a massless pulley. m
" 1 is on a frictionless

surface and the masses are released from rest. What is the tension in the rope after the masses are released? (1 pt)

A) "T < m 2 g

B) T
" = m2g

C) T
" > m2g

Q3) A hand is pressing down on a book which is resting on a table. Which of the following is a Newton’s 3rd Law pair? Circle all
that apply. (1 pt)

A) The force from the hand on the book | The force from the book on the hand
B) The force from the table on the book | The force from the hand on the book
C) The force from the table on the book | The force of gravity on the book
Q4) Two blocks ("mA = 6.0 kg and m " B = 4.0 kg) are connected by a massless rope with tension
" 1. Another rope pulls on m
T " B to the right with tension T " 2 = 30 N. Their is no frictional force
between the blocks and the floor. Show all work to receive full credit!

a) Draw free-body diagrams for the two blocks including: all forces clearly labeled, the net force, and a coordinate system. (2 pt)
