Correct answer was indeed a/b/d/f. Thanks for the help!

Thinking about it again, I suppose one would see the results from above if the track was tilted towards the pulley.

What I'm surmising from this information is that a/b/d would be the best answer, or a/b/d/e, since b suggest d must also be true...

a) The graph should have a positive y-intercept because a certain amount of mass is needed on the hanger to overcome the friction and create a net force in the forward direction. b) Friction would cause the plot to be shifted upward such that the y-intercept is positive. Therefore the...

I agree that it is a poorly written question, and yes, b) and c) are separate as you have indicated. The answer that makes the most sense to me is b/d (it may not have been originally, but in my mind I have already rejected other possible combinations because I know they were wrong) because...

Well, so far I know from this post and my own attempts that these combinations DO NOT WORK: b/c/d c/e a/b/c/e a/b/e b/d/f a/b/c/d Looking at the problem again, I'm thinking that the answer may be b/d, but to be quite honest, I'm completely lost.

Sorry, I had the same exact problem.
