Please respond to the question below by posting an answer.
The force of gravity on a 2kg rock is twice as great as that on a 1 kg rock. Why then doesn't the heavier rock fall faster?
Hi all,
I couldn't upload the graphs themselves into this blog. However after plotting graphs of velocity vs time for 3 different rockets, I obtained accelerations of
313 m/s/s
170 m/s/s
337 m/s/s
There were a total of 5 rockets launched with different mixtures, which were:
1. 1/3 water
2. half full
3. 3/4 water
4. all air
5. way too overpowered
Discuss which ones you think match these accelerations and why. We will analyze in class tomorrow.
Please Answer the following question, and then also respond to at least 1 other person's entry.
Can an object be increasing in speed as its acceleration decreases? If so, give an example. If not, explain.
