NAME PERIOD DATE NEWTON'S SECOND LAW LOGIC PUZZLE Jed, Michael, Mehal, Sylvia, and Kinjal attond MR. RAMOS' Physics class. Working as a group during their LAB, they were provided 5 carts of different masses. They each apply a different amount of force to the carts, resulting in different accelerations. However, they did not label their data table and are now trying to backtrack and identify all of their data. YOUR TASK: Using your understanding of Newton's Second Law and the clues provided, help each student determine the mass of their cart, the acceleration of their cart, and the force they each gave to their cart. WHAT THE STUDENTS KNOW: The carts had masses of 6 kg, 4.5 kg, 9 kg, 10 kg and 12 kg; and accelerations of 5 m/s², 3 m/s², 2 m/s², 4 m/s², and 2.5 m/s². CLUES: 1. Mehal applies the least amount of force. 2. Kinjal's force was greater than 27 N. 3. Michael's cart's mass is neither the smallest nor the largest. 4. The mass of Jed's cart is greater than Kinjal's. 5. Michael applied more than 30N of force. 6. Jed applies the greatest amount of force.
