Answer:
1.
2.
Explanation:
1. According to Newton's law of motion, the puck motion is affected by the acceleration, which is generated by the push force F.
In Newton's 2nd law: F = ma
where m is the mass of the object and a is the resulted acceleration. So in the 2nd experiment, if we double the mass, a would be reduced by half.
Since the puck start from rest, in the 1st experiment, to achieve speed of v it would take t time
Now that acceleration is halved:
You would need to push for twice amount of time
2. The distance traveled by the puck is as the following equation:
So if the acceleration is halved while maintaining the same d:
As , then
. Also
So t increased by 1.14
