Two identical spheres are released from a device at time t = 0 from the same height H, as shown above. Sphere A has no initial v
elocity and falls straight down. Sphere B is given an initial horizontal velocity of magnitude v0 and travels a horizontal distance D before it reaches the ground. The spheres reach the ground at the same time t f , even though sphere B has more distance to cover before landing. Air resistance is negligible.
The spheres reach the ground at the same time (true)
Explanation:
The acceleration in the vertical direction is the same for both spheres, so the distance they cover in a given time is the same. The additional (horizontal) distance covered by sphere B is facilitated by its horizontal velocity.
True: the spheres reach the ground at the same time.
MUCH lower. And that is the truth! We have done several of them here and CLEP exams cost about $80 for the exam and maybe $40 for the study guide. Compare that with a $500 class. MUCH lower.
