2. a, b, and d. Friction and the normal force are the only contact forces. Nothing is touching the rock to provide a “force of the kick.”
3. b. Acceleration is proportional to force, so doubling the number of rubber bands doubles the acceleration of the original object from . But acceleration is also inversely proportional to mass. Doubling the mass cuts the acceleration in half, back to .
5. c. The acceleration vector points downward as the elevator slows. points in the same direction as , so also points down. This will be true if the tension is less than the gravitational force: .
1. Gravity, tension
3. Gravity, normal force, kinetic friction
5. Gravity, normal force, thrust, drag
