Question 1 2 pts In the classic experiment that you have repeated, two objects of different mass are dropped from the same elevation. If drag is not an important factor the two objects fall to the ground at the same time. From the point of view of Newton's second law, what is the reason for this? The gravitational force on objects is the same regardless of mass. Therefore, the accelerations and motion are equal In free fall the net force on an object is always zero since is not touching anything. The motions are therefore equal. The motion of the objects is determined by how hard is thrown down. In this experiment, the objects are just dropped, not thrown and therefore the motion is the same. Acceleration is a variable that is independent of mass. Free fall has constant acceleration and therefore does not depend on mass. Since there is no drag, there are no forces acting on the objects. Therefore, their motion, which is determined by forces, should be the same. For a larger mass the gravitational force is larger but its inertia (its mass) is also larger. Their ratio is the same for all objects and therefore the acceleration and motion are equal. Question 2 2 pts
Question 4 2 pts The drag on an object depends on several variables. The most important of them, to understand the experiments you carried out is: The density of the object. The specific gravity of the object. The roughness of the object. The material the object is made of. The area of the object. The largest length of the object.
