Question

Students need to design a self propelled toy boat with a flag on its top. When the flag collides with a low bridge, the flag must fall off. Two students build boats the same way with the same mass. They also boy use inflated balloons to propel the boats. The first student fills her balloon with twice as much air as the second student. ​

Answer 1

Answer: The first student is more likely.

Explanation: The first student has more air which means by the time it gets to the bridge it will have lost less air than the second student.

So since they lost less air that means that the balloon will be bigger and the flag will be more likely to get knocked off.
