A student places a block on a table and hangs one mass from the block. The student lets the block go and observes the block move
towards the end of the table where the mass was located. The student then places the block on the table and hangs a second, larger mass from the opposite end of the block. The block moves in the opposite direction as the first trial. What does this experiment demonstrate? Use information from the experiment to support your answer.
We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).
As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.
As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.
