A student attempts to measure the mass of a brick by measuring the force required to accelerate it at 1 on a
level surface. The force required is 2 N, and the student
concludes that the brick has a mass of 2 kg. A balance
shows that the mass of the brick is really 1.5 kg. The
experimental error is most likely due to
A. Gravity
B. Inertia
C. Friction
D. Work

Aclarinetist, setting out for a performance, grabs his 3.350 kg clarinet case (including the clarinet) from the top of the piano and carries it through the air with an upward force of 24.65 n. find the case's vertical acceleration. indicate an upward acceleration as positive and a downward one as negative.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.
