Question

Two stones of mass m and 2m are dropped from the top of a building. They penetrate into the muddy ground below. Assume the mud provides a constant stopping force. How do the penetration distances compare? the heavier one will penetrate twice as far as the lighter one. both of them will penetrate the same distance the heavier one will penetrate four times as far as the lighter one. the heavier one will penetrate sqrt(2) times as far as the lighter one. Choose one answer. The next two problems pertain to the same situation. Identical blocks start from rest the same vertical distance h above the floor on two different ramps. One ramp is inclined at a shallower angle with respect to the horizontal than the other ramp . When they reach the floor, the blocks have speeds V1 and V2, as shown in the figure. Assume that both ramps are frictionless. Which statement is most correct concerning the relative speeds of the blocks at the bottom of the ramps? V2 > V1 V2 = V1 V2 V1 V2 = V1 V2

Explanation / Answer

option B v2>v1 v2
