Answer:

Hey

Your answer would be D (Aristotle stated that heavy objects fall faster than light objects). He thought be comparing a feather falling to a rock falling that you could see that heavier objects fall faster than light ones. of course now we know that all objects fall at the same speed and that weight does not affect that. only air drag affects how fast objects fall.

Answer:

1) d

2) 5 m/s

3) 100

Explanation:

The equation of position x for a constant acceleration a and an initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀, time t is:

(i) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

The equation for velocity v and a constant acceleration a is:

(ii) v=at+v_0

1) Solve equation (ii) for acceleration a and plug the result in equation (i)

(iii) a = \frac{v -v_0}{t}

(iv) x = \frac{v-v_0}{2t}t^2+v_0t + x_0

Simplify equation (iv) and use the given values v = 0, x₀ = 0:

(v) x=-\frac{v_0}{2}t + v_0t= \frac{v_0}{2}t

2) Given v₀= 3m/s, a=0.2m/s², t=10 s. Using equation (ii) to get the final velocity v:v=at+v_0=0.2\frac{m}{s^2} * 10s+3\frac{m}{s}=2\frac{m}{s}+3\frac{m}{s}=5\frac{m}{s}

3) Given v₀=0m/s, t₁=10s, t₂=1s and x₀=0. Looking for factor f = x(t₁)/x(t₂) using equation(i) to calculate x(t₁) and x(t₂):

f=\frac{x(t_1)}{x(t_2)}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at_1^2 }{\frac{1}{2}at_2^2}=\frac{t_1^2}{t_2^2}=\frac{10^2}{1^2}=\frac{100}{1}
