Values in physics that do not affect each other are considered Independent values
Activation Energy is the amount of energy needed to get a reaction started.
let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"
consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.
Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m
Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h
v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s
a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec
Using the kinematics equation
Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
inserting the values
h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²
h = 5.71 - 4.16
h = 1.55 m
The reason why a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on the floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around is because when the birds are sitting on the floor, they are adding their weight to the truck.
Meanwhile, if the birds are flying around they aren't resting on the truck or touching it, so therefore their weight wouldn't be added to the truck.
The mass of the truck will remain the same as you cannot change the mass but the weight will vary depending on the items and objects placed in it.
