Final answer:
Catching a one-dollar bill dropped from its center point is likely challenging not due to its size and weight alone, but due to its fluttering motion caused by air resistance making its fall pattern unpredictable and hard to time for a catch.
Therefore, we can assume answer d. No, as catching a bill mid-air is challenging due to its size and weight
Step-by-step explanation:
If a one-dollar bill was dropped from its center point between the person's fingers, the likelihood of being able to catch it depends on several factors, including human reaction time and the physical properties of the dollar bill. A one-dollar bill falls slower than a meter stick due to air resistance.
Its larger surface area compared to its weight causes it to flutter and drift as it falls, potentially making it harder to catch. Nonetheless, the size and weight are not the primary issues here; it's the bill's erratic movement caused by air resistance that poses a challenge.
A dollar bill would be difficult to catch if it were dropped from its center point between a person's fingers. This is because a dollar bill is too light and would be easily affected by air resistance, causing it to fall slowly and unpredictably.
Additionally, the shape of the dollar bill does not aid in easy catching as it does not have any specific aerodynamic properties that would make it easier to catch. Therefore, the correct answer is option b. No, because a dollar bill is too light and would be difficult to catch.
