Question

A 10 g dime and a 200 g gold coin are dropped from the Empire State Building in

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The both hit the ground at the same time. There is no air resistance and that includes the factors brought up in B.

C and D are both eliminated. If you dropped an 800 kg honda Fit it would hit the ground at the same time as the two coins. When you look at the formulas used to derive time, they look like

d = vi * t + 1/2 a* t^2

vi = 0

the distance to fell is the same for all three masses.

a is the same for all 3 masses.

So when you solve for t, there is no mention of the mass of the object falling. Therefore t is dependent only on the height.
