Question

Three balls of equal volumes are dropped from rest simultaneously from a height of 40 m. The masses of the balls are 5kg, 10kg, and 15kg. a) describe and explain the order in which the balls impact the ground at a time t later. b) compare the velocity of the balls when they hit the ground.

Answer 1

Given:

• Height = 40 m

,

• Mass of ball 1 = 5 kg

,

• Mass of ball 2 = 10 kg

,

• Mass of ball 3 = 15 kg

Given that the three balls have equal volumes and are dropped from rest, let's answer the following questions:

• (a). Describe and explain the order in which the balls impact the ground at a time t.
