For an investigation, a student measures the speed of a cart as it rolls down a ramp. The student then records data in the table below. Which of these best explains the student’s data?
60
The speed of the cart decreases as the cart rolls down the ramp because the forces acting on the cart are balanced.
The speed of the cart decreases as the cart rolls down the ramp because of friction between the cart and the ramp.
The speed of the cart increases as the cart rolls down the ramp because the force acting on the cart is greater than the force of gravity
The speed of the cart increases as the cart rolls down the ramp because the forces acting on the cart are unbalanced.

Q.
Two students are working together to build a birdhouse. Student 1 applies a force of 10 N to a wooden board in order to slide it across the table to Student 2. If the force of friction resisting the student’s push is 4 N, what is the net force acting on the board?
