During a football game, a student accidentally knocks similar gym bags, one empty and one full of shoes and clothes, off the back of the bleachers. If there is NO air resistance, which bag will hit the ground first?
a
The empty bag will hit the ground first.
b
The full bag will hit the ground first.
c
This cannot be determined because the dimensions of the bags are needed.
d
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
d
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
Since there is no air resistance, the acceleration of the bags will be the same regardless of their weight. Therefore, they will both hit the ground at the same time.
