An Atwood's machine is a pulley with two masses connected by a string as
shown. The mass of object A, mA , is twice the mass of object B, mB. The
tension T in the string on the left, above mass A, is...
A. T = mA g
B. T = mB g
C. Neither of these.

RI-2.
An elevator is going up at a constant speed. Near the top floor, it
starts to slow to a stop. During the period that it is slowing down,
its acceleration is
A) downward
B) upward.
C) in some other direction.
RI-5. A student is asked the following question on an exam: A car is
moving at 90mph and suddenly brakes with a constant acceleration a = –
2g to a full stop. How many seconds does the car take to stop?
Which equation can be used to answer the question?

CT6-6. A mass m is pulled along a rough table at constant velocity with an
external force Fext at some angle above the horizontal. The magnitudes of
the forces on the free-body diagram have not been drawn carefully, but the
