Physics quizzes every 2nd picture should be a new quiz
1. When do we break mg into components?
2. An object is attached to a string and sits on a table. I pull on the string to the right. The object moves right at constant speed. On a free body for the object, why don’t we include FH, the force of my hand on the object?
3. An object is attached to a string and sits on a table. I pull on the string to the right. The object moves right at constant speed. Is there a friction force on the object? Explain briefly why or why not.
