9. Use the following information to answer parts a, b, c and d Verdah, Hetav and Dhinesh are undertaking an investigation into the motion of wooden blocks in their Physics class. Their aim is to determine the effect that mass has on the horizontal motion of the wooden block across a table.
Verdah suggests that they use a launcher to give both blocks the same initial velocity and that they use the same table for each trial.
The blocks are made from the same wood but have different masses. The mass of block A (m1) is twice the mass of block B (m2). The coefficient of friction between the blocks and the table is u.

a. Hetav hypothesises that block A will travel a greater distance across the table before coming to rest. WITHOUT using an equation provide an explanation for Hetav's hypothesis.

b. Dhinesh disagrees with Hetav and states that block B will travel a greater distance before coming to rest. WITHOUT using an equation provide an explanation for Dhinesh's hypothesis.

c. Derive a mathematical expression that the students could use to find the distance block A travels after it leaves the launcher. Upload a copy of your HANDWRITTEN working clearly identifying all equations and constants used in your derivation. Make sure your name is visible next to your working.

d. Using the equation derived in part c to support your answer, justify if Hetav or Dhinesh was correct in their hypothesis.

Amerry-go-round of radius r, shown in the figure, is rotating at constant angular speed. the friction in its bearings is so small that it can be ignored. a sandbag of mass m is dropped onto the merry-go-round, at a position designated by r. the sandbag does not slip or roll upon contact with the merry-go-round. how would you rank the following different combinations of m and r on the basis of the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the sandbag "sticks" to the merry-go-round from largest to smallest. a) m = 10kg, r = 0.25r b) m = 20kg, r = 0.25r c) m = 10kg, r = 0.50r d) m = 10kg, r = 1.0r e) m = 15kg, r = 0.75r f) m = 40kg, r = 0.25r
