In the previous part, you discovered that the trajectory of an object does not depend on the object's size or mass. But if you have ever seen a parachutist or a feather falling, you know this isn't really true. That is because we have been neglecting air resistance, and we will now study its effects here. For the following parts, select the "Lab" mode of the simulation found at the bottom of the screen. Notice that you can adjust the mass and diameter of the object being launched. Turn on Air Resistance by checking the box. Fire a cannonball with an initial speed of 18 m/s and an angle of 45∘. Compare the trajectory to the case without air resistance. How do the trajectories differ?
The trajectory with air resistance has a shorter range.

You are going sledding with your friends, sliding down a snowy hill. Friction can't be ignored. Riding solo on your sled, you have a certain acceleration. Would the acceleration change if you let a friend ride with you, increasing the mass?
No, increasing the mass does increase the net force on the system but it also increases the inertia. a = Fnetm. Since both the net force and mass are increased, they still cancel leaving the acceleration the same.

First, you will investigate purely vertical motion. The kinematics equation for vertical motion (ignoring air resistance) is given by y(t)=y0+v0t−(1/2)gt2y(t)=y0+v0t−(1/2)gt2, where y0=0y0=0 is the initial position, v0v0v_0 is the initial speed, and ggg is the acceleration due to gravity. Drag the cannon downwards so it is at ground level, or 0 mm (which represents the initial height of the object), then fire the pumpkin straight upward (at an angle of 90∘90∘) with an initial speed of 14 m/sm/s. How long does it take for the pumpkin to hit the ground?
2.85 s Correct answer is shown. Your answer 2.86s2.86s was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part. Notice that this value could be determined from the kinematics equation. Given that the initial and final height of the pumpkin is 0 mm, the kinematics equation becomes (v0−0.5gt)=0(v0−0.5gt)=0, or t=2v0/g=2.9 st=2v0/g=2.9 s. This calculation is interesting because it shows that, for vertical motion, the time the pumpkin is in the air is proportional to its initial speed.
If it takes a ball dropped from rest 2.429 ss to fall to the ground, from what height HHH was it released?
28.9 m Projectile motion is made up of two independent motions: uniform motion at constant velocity in the horizontal direction and free-fall motion in the vertical direction. Because both the ball that was dropped and the ball that was thrown horizontally with an initial speed 21.0 m/sm/s fell the same vertical distance of 28.9 mm , they were in the air for the same amount of time. This result was expected and helps to confirm that you did the calculation in Part D correctly.

A simple model shows how drawing a bow across a violin string causes the string to vibrate. As the bow moves across the string, static friction between the bow and the string pulls the string along with the bow. At some point, the tension pulling the string back exceeds the maximum static friction force and the string snaps back. This process repeats cyclically, causing the string's vibration. Assume the tension in a 0.33-m-long violin string is 50 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the bow and the string is μsμs = 0.80. If the normal force of the bow on the string is 0.75 N, how far can the string be pulled before it slips if the string is bowed at its center?

You might think that it is never a good approximation to ignore air resistance. However, often it is. Fire the cannonball without air resistance, and then fire it with air resistance (same angle and initial speed). Then, adjust the mass of the cannonball (increase it and decrease it) and see what happens to the trajectory. Don't change the diameter. When does the range with air resistance approach the range without air resistance?
The range with air resistance approaches the range without air resistance as the mass of the cannonball is increased.
