    Problem on my Final. pulling box with rope problem

    I'm trying to understand this problem so if anyone could clarify. But from what I am seeing here you really can't get a definite answer from this problem because there is no force defined for the pull on the box, so what you end up with is the Friction force depending on the pull in the y...

    Is Matter Infinitely Divisible?

    Hmmm, I was under the impression that Plancks length was the absolute smallest size or length recognized because anything smaller than that would be insignificant to any type of manipulation or advancement for us,kind of like an absolute minimum where anything below it we'd just ignore.

    What Do the Slope and Y-Intercept Represent in a Force vs. Acceleration Graph?

    what pgardn is trying to say is that you incorrectly labeled the graph, the independent variable should be the masses you acquired and the dependent variable would be the force. Now to graph this you'd place mass on the x-axis and force on the y axis. Thus the slope would be f/m=a.
