Exam points

  • identify zero net force from rest, constant velocity, motion graphs or force rankings
  • set the vector sum of forces to zero and solve a missing force’s magnitude and direction
  • resolve weight, tension, normal force and friction to test equilibrium on inclined or connected systems

2.4.A—Describe the conditions under which a system’s velocity remains constant

Question 1

[Maximum number: 1]
Figure for Question 1 — AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based

Three identical blocks, A, B, and C, slide on three dif ferent rough ramps, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Ramp 3 is steeper than Ramp 2, which is steeper than Ramp 1, as shown. The blocks slide with constant velocities. Which block, if any, experiences the greatest net force?

A

Block A

B

Block B

C

Block C

D

All blocks experience the same net force.
