What new perspective after the test made you change your mind? It is important that you figure this out because you don't want to second guess yourself when the next test comes around.mathbrain9 said:On the test, I said they hit the ground simultaneously. However, that, in retrospect, doesn't seem to be the correct solution.
The forum rules prohibit any of us from doing those sums until the OP has done so. Meanwhile, the OP has not posted anything beyond the original post here. It would be improper to respond to "I thought the answer was X but now I am not sure" with a correct solution, a full mathematical treatment and the reasoning connecting the two. That would not be fair to the other posters who actually go to the trouble of showing their work.DrJohn said:someone might do the sums for you eventually to check it.
Velocity comparison is the process of comparing the speed or rate of motion of two or more objects.
Velocity is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by an object by the time it takes to travel that distance.
Comparing velocities can provide insight into the relative speeds of different objects, and can help determine which object will reach a certain destination first.
The mass and shape of the objects, as well as any external forces such as air resistance, can affect the velocity comparison between two objects.
To determine which thrown mass will hit the ground first, you can use the equation for velocity (v = d/t) and calculate the time it takes for each object to reach the ground. The object with the shorter time will hit the ground first.
