Due in 10 Minutes PART TWO ! (Two balls dropping from roof) True/False
Ball A is dropped from the top of a building. One second later, ball B is dropped from the same building. Consider the balls while they are both in flight. You may ignore air resistance. Which statements are true about this situation?
As time progresses, the difference between their accelerations increases
Ball A will hit the ground before ball B
Both have the same vertical acceleration
As time progresses, the difference between their velocities increases
As time progresses, the distance between them stays constant
1. False, acceleration is constant 9.81
2. True, it fell first
3. True, acceleration is constant
4. Hm. I say true? One started accelerating first so the velocity should increase faster than the other
5. False, wouldn't it increase because the velocity on one is greater?Please help!
