Part II

Assignment

A slider is moving on an air cushion track, either to the right (+) or to the left (-).

Since the slider is hovering and takes on only small velocities, all effects due to friction forces and air resistances can be neglected.

A force can be applied to the slider in horizontal direction. Please mark each of the following situations 7 to 14 with one of the offered force/time-diagrams A to K, which shows how the force on the slider varies with time.
