A cart oscillates, as shown above and on the problem set last night. On figure 1, draw and label where the cart is located at position A. On figure 1, draw and label where the cart is located at position B. When a block is dropped on the cart, does the frequency of oscillation increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Just "force of track on cart" or "force of the ground on the cart" or similar, like you said. I work so hard to get students to avoid excess language (like "the downward force of the earth pulling down on the upward moving cart") that I'd undo that work if I insisted on other language.

Ask: immediately after the carts are pushed or released, in which experiment is the magnitude of the carts' acceleration greater? And, are the directions of the top cart's acceleration the same, or different, in the two experiments? The correct answer refers to free body diagrams of both carts in each experiment.
