Consider Sammy's ride down the water slide in question #1. Imagine that Sammy is replaced with by his science teacher, Mr. Giganto, on the water slide. Mr. Giganto is huge! He is tall and very heavy. How will this scenario change??
Responses
A Friction will balance gravity and Mr. Giganto will stop on his way down the water slide.Friction will balance gravity and Mr. Giganto will stop on his way down the water slide.
B The scenario will not change. Mr. Giganto will accelerate down the slide just like Sammy.The scenario will not change. Mr. Giganto will accelerate down the slide just like Sammy.
C Mr. Giganto's rate of acceleration will be much greater than Sammy's because he has more mass.Mr. Giganto's rate of acceleration will be much greater than Sammy's because he has more mass.
D Acceleration will be less as the friction force generated by Mr. Giganto will be greater than Sammy's.Acceleration will be less as the friction force generated by Mr. Giganto will be greater than Sammy's.
