The diagram below shows two connected carts with different masses accelerating due to a constant force F. Which of the following statements is true.
A. The force of m2 on m1 is greater than F.
B. The force of m1 on m2 is equal to F.
C. The force of m1 on m2 is less than F.
C. The force of m1 on m2 is less than F.
Since both carts are accelerating, there must be a net force on each. There are two forces on cart m1, the pulling force, and the force of m2 on m1. Since there is a net force, they can’t be equal.

In a test of equipment the following procedure is carried out. Spacecraft ?1 is traveling at 0.75c and fires a laser pulse in the forward direction at Spacecraft ?2, which is testing its device that measures the speed of laser pulses as they pass by the spacecraft. Spacecraft ?2 is traveling at 0.95c in a direction away from Spacecraft ?1 . The device is working properly, and the speed of
the pulse as it passes is successfully measured. What is the speed of the laser pulse measured in this case? a. 0.80c b. 0.70c c. c d. This is a question that cannot be answered without knowing in which reference frames the speeds given in the problem. If you agree, then this is the answer that you should choose.
