An assignment from a spring 2012 physics course (phy101) with a focus on understanding the concepts of velocity, acceleration, and newton's laws. The assignment includes three questions, each with sub-parts, and carries a total mark of 20. Students are required to have a good command over the first 10 lectures and follow specific instructions for submission. Questions involve proving statements, calculating forces, and determining acceleration.

DON’T MISS THESE Important instructions:
Question # 1
a) Can an object with zero acceleration have velocity? If no give a proof if yes give an example. b) Can an object with zero velocity have acceleration? If no give a proof if yes give an example. Marks = 3+
Question # 2
Look on the above figure and answer the following question. What is the suitcase's acceleration? Marks = 6
Question # 3
Look on the above figure and answers the following questions. a. The weight of the apple is 1.5 N. What force does the apple exert on the Earth? Also indicate which Newton law is applicable here? b. If the forces on the apple and the Earth are equal in strength, do they cause them to accelerate at the same rate? Marks = 3+
