The unbalanced force acting on an object is zero. What is the direction and magnitude of the object's velocity and acceleration?

Question 2

In the experiment, m1 and m2 have the same value. How would the data change if m1 and m 2 were slightly different in value?

Answer to Question 1

The velocity may be zero, or the velocity may have any direction and magnitude, but
the velocity must be constant. The acceleration must be zero.

Answer to Question 2

The values for the unbalanced force would be slightly more or less. These values
would not be known to the observer, and the data collected would be inaccurate.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
