A side view of a child’s tricycle with rubber tires on a horizontal concrete sidewalk. If a string were attached to the upper pedal on the far side and pulled forward horizontally, the tricycle would start to roll forward. (a) Instead, assume a string is attached to the lower pedal on the near side and pulled forward horizontally as shown by A. Will the tricycle start to roll? If so, which way? Answer the same questions if (b) the string is pulled forward and upward as shown by B, (c) if the string is pulled straight down as shown by C, and (d) if the string is pulled forward and downward as shown by D. (e) What If? Suppose the string is instead attached to the rim of the front wheel and pulled upward and backward as shown by E. Which way does the tricycle roll? (f) Explain a pattern of reasoning, based on the figure, that makes it easy to answer questions such as these. What physical quantity must you evaluate?


Leadfoot Lou enters the "Rest to Rest" auto competition in whicheach contestant's car begins and ends at rest, covering a fixeddistance L in as short a time as possible. The intention is todemonstrate driving skills and to find which car is the best totalcombination of speeding up and slowing down. The course is designedso that the maximum speeds of the cars are never reached. NeglectLou's reaction time.
a. If Lou's car maintains an acceleration (magnitude) of a duringspeedup and deceleration (magnitude) of 2a during braking, at whatfraction of L should Lou move his foot from the gas pedal to thebrake?
b. What fraction of the total time for the trip has elapsed at thatpoint?
c. What is the fasted speed Lou's car ever reaches?
