Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.

• This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.

• You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.

• If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the form.

• As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.

You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

A steel ball rolls down a ramp and collides with a marble, as in the video. The marble is slightly smaller and quite a bit less massive than the ball.

• If they both experience the same force, which will have the greater acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

The steel ball will have the greater acceleration.

&&&&&The marble will have the larger acceleration because it has less mass than the steel ball, which ultimately results in a greater acceleration. &&&&&

• If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals, which would have the greater change in velocity?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals the marble will have the greater change in velocity.

&&&&&This is because it has a higher acceleration and it occurs in the same amount of time as the steel ball&&&&&

@&

Good.

You can also say that the magnitude of its impulse is the same, but with the lesser mass the magnitude of the velocity change must therefore be greater.

@&

The forces are exerted for the same time, since by Newton's Third Law the forces are equal and opposite and occur only while the objects are in contact.

If this premise is accepted, then your answers are inconsistent.
