Using the data above, what conclusion could you draw? Question 1 options: The car with more mass will travel the fastest down the ramp. The car with less mass will travel the fastest down the ramp. Mass does not affect the speed of the car. Increasing the ramp height will cause the car to travel faster.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
