Two persons watch the same object move john says that it accelerate straight downward, but Samantha claims that it falls Along curved path.describe the conditions under which each person would be reporting correctly what they see.
Thanks and please please please answer this last question
To determine under which conditions John and Samantha would be reporting correctly, we need to consider the factors that affect the motion of the object.
John claims that the object accelerates straight downward. This suggests that he observes a constant increase in the object's speed in the downward direction. If John is correct, it means that the object is subject to a constant downward force, such as gravity, and there are no other external forces acting on it. This situation would occur when the object is in free fall, such as when an object is dropped from a height without any air resistance. In this case, John would be reporting correctly.
On the other hand, Samantha claims that the object falls along a curved path. This suggests that she observes the object moving in a curved trajectory rather than a straight line. For Samantha to be reporting correctly, there must be a factor causing the object to deviate from a purely vertical path. This can occur when there is another force acting on the object in addition to gravity, such as air resistance or a horizontal component of the initial velocity. These additional forces would cause the object to follow a curved path as it falls. So, if factors like air resistance or an initial horizontal velocity are present, Samantha would be reporting correctly.
In summary, John would be correct when the object is in free fall without any other forces affecting its motion, while Samantha would be correct when there are additional forces causing the object to deviate from a purely vertical trajectory.
