Force Lab: Exercise 1
This animation shows
the graph of position versus time and velocity versus time for the red mass pushed by a 12N force
on a frictionless horizontal surface. The 2-kg red block is in contact
with (and therefore pushes on) the green 1-kg block. When ready, fill in the
values of the force below and check to see if you get the same plots.
Note that if you choose the wrong values, you may see the red block "move
through" the green one. Also, do not forget about the sign of the
force vectors!
