- To move two crates, two people push on them with the same force for the same amount of time. One of the crates has double the mass of the other one. If friction can be ignored, which crate will acquire the greatest momentum (the lighter one or the heavier one) or will they both acquire the same momentum? Also, which crate will acquire the greatest kinetic energy or will they both acquire the same kinetic energy?arrow_forwardProblem 14.

If the plane comes to a stop in 170 m, what is the average force of air on the parachute? Assume the parachute provides essentially all the stopping force.arrow_forwardA 0.11 kg apple falls off a tree branch that is 2.2 m above the thick grass.
