Students were asked to place a mint in their mouths and determine how long it took for the mint to dissolve. The condition of the mint varied in each student group. One group of students were asked to leave a whole mint in their mouth, not moving it around, and let it dissolve. Another group swirled a mint, while the other groups used mints broken into smaller pieces. See the chart for all of the manipulated variable. After reviewing that data table, what kind of result would you predict for the swirled, whole mint?
A) The time is likely between 10-30 seconds.
B) The time is likely between 40-80 seconds.
C) The time is likely between 90-160 seconds.
D) The time is likely between 100-200 seconds.
ANSWER: B) The time is likely between 40-80 seconds.
EXPLANATION:The time is likely between 40-80 seconds.
By swirling the mint, this is agitating and creating a higher frequency of collisions between the saliva particles and mint particles, increasing the rate of dissolution. Therefore, the time is likely to be less than the mint cut in half but probably more than the mint when it is in small pieces.
The angular momentum is defined as,
Acording to this text we know for conservation of angular momentum that
Where 
is initial momentum
is the final momentum
How there is a difference between the stick mass and the bug mass, we define that
Mass of the bug= m
Mass of the stick=10m
At the point 0 we have that,
Where l is the lenght of the stick which is also the perpendicular distance of the bug's velocity
vector from the point of reference (O), and ve is the velocity
At the end with the collition we have
Substituting
Applying conservative energy equation we have
Replacing the values and solving
Substituting
l=\frac{13}{0.54(9.8)}
