Students use a stretched elastic band to launch carts of known mass horizontally on a track. The elastic bands exert a force F, which is nonlinear as a function of the distance x that the band is stretched. A meter stick is used to measure x, and a motion detector is used to measure the resulting maximum speed of the carts. This procedure is repeated to gather data for several different values of x. Which of the following graphs, if linear, supports the hypothesis that F is a function of x^2?

a. A graph of the cart's maximum speed as a function of x
b. A graph of the cart's maximum speed as a function of x^2
c. A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x
d. A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^2
e. A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^3

Acaterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. eventually, it reaches the top. when it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. what is the total displacement traveled?

Imagine that you have two balloons (or, better yet, actually inflate two balloons, if possible). create static electricity around one of the balloons by rubbing it against your hair or your sweater and then bring that balloon close to the other balloon, which has not been charged. try this with at least one other object—and for variety in the discussion, avoid using an object already described by your classmates. then, for your initial post to the discussion, answer the following questions: what happened with the two balloons?
