To determine which two values would likely be equal for the object during the times marked by segments B and E, we need to consider what remains constant in a system.
-
Mass: The mass of an object does not change unless there is a loss or gain of material, which is not usually a factor in physics problems that analyze motion over time. Therefore, mass is likely to be equal during any segments if the object remains unchanged.
-
Velocity: Velocity can change due to acceleration. If segments B and E are in regions where forces are acting on the object differently, the velocities may not be equal.
-
Acceleration: Acceleration can change if the net forces acting on the object change. Similar to velocity, it may not be equal in segments B and E.
-
Net Force: The net force may change depending on the motion and forces acting on the object. Thus, it is not guaranteed to be equal.
Given that mass remains constant in standard physics problems unless otherwise specified, the two values that would likely be equal during the times marked by segments B and E are:
mass.
