In a physics lab experiment, you release a small steel ball at various heights above the ground and measure the ball’s speed just before it strikes the ground. you plot your data on a graph that has the release height (in meters) on the vertical axis and the square of the final speed (in m2/s2) on the horizontal axis. in this graph your data points lie close to a straight line. (a) using g = 9.80 m/s2 and ignoring the effect of air resistance, what is the numerical value of the slope of this straight line? (include the correct units.) the presence of air resistance reduces the magnitude of the downward acceleration, and the effect of air resistance increases as the speed of the object increases. you repeat the experiment, but this time with a tennis ball as the object being dropped. air resistance now has a noticeable effect on the data. (b) is the final speed for a given release height higher than, lower than, or the same as when you ignored air resistance? (c) is the graph of the release height versus the square of the final speed still a straight line? sketch the qualitative shape of the graph when air resistance is present.

Thomas his older brothers, who own a junk yard, on the weekends to earn extra money. he likes to them push broken-down cars to the back of the junk yard because it makes him feel strong. last saturday, they pushed three cars with different weights, and he noticed he used different amounts of force for each one. the cars were the following weights: white car: 2,700 kg red car: 1,500 kg blue car: 2,100 kg think about how much force is needed to move each car. which correctly lists the cars in order from the most to least amount of force needed to move them? a) white, blue, red b) blue, red, white c) red, white, blue d) white, red, blue
