objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly.

I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh
Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

v^2=v^2_o-2ax

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

F=ma

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N
