Week 5 Quiz2 Version 1If the slope of a graph of the acceleration of a cart vs. the number of paper clips attache string and suspended over a pulley is ( 20 cm/s2) / clip, and if the slope of a graph of number of paper clips needed to maintain equilibrium vs. ramp slope is 47 clips / unit of ramp slope, then how many cm/s2 of acceleration should correspond to 1 unit of ramp slope? If 52 clips are necessary to match the mass of the cart, then if we could apply this force to the cart without the extra mass of all those clips, what would be the acceleration of the cart? So if for each clip you accelerate 20cm/s^2 and for each unit there is 47clips/unit... then you would do 47clips*20cm/s^2 = 940cm/s^2 for 1 unit of ramp slope. 52clips *20cm/s^2 = 1040cm/s^2"

Good. Let me know if you have questions.
