Question
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?(1 point)
Responses
The empty bag will hit the ground first.
The empty bag will hit the ground first.
The full bag will hit the ground first.
The full bag will hit the ground first.
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
This cannot be determined because the dimensions of the bags are needed.

Here are the answers to the questions you provided:
1. **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?**
- **Response:** They will both hit the ground at the same time.
2. **Mark weighs 200 Newtons on Earth, where the force of gravity is 10 m/s². He goes to Mars, where the force of gravity is 3.5 m/s². What is Mark's weight on Mars?**
- **Response:** 70 N
- (Weight = mass × gravity; Mark's mass = 200 N / 10 m/s² = 20 kg; Weight on Mars = mass × gravity on Mars = 20 kg × 3.5 m/s² = 70 N)
3. **You and your friend mow a half-acre lawn. You get it done in half the time of your friend. Who did more work?**
- **Response:** You both did the same amount of work, because time is not relevant to the work completed.
4. **A lever has a mechanical advantage of 4. If you apply a force to the machine with a mass of 4 kg, at an acceleration of 2 m/s², what is the output force created by the lever?**
- **Response:** 32 N
- (From the hint: Output force (Fo) = Mechanical Advantage × Input Force (Fi), where Fi = mass × acceleration = 4 kg × 2 m/s² = 8 N; thus, Fo = 4 × 8 N = 32 N)
5. **By sharpening a wedge, you _______________ the machine’s mechanical advantage.**
- **Response:** Increase
6. **If your actual mechanical advantage is 10 J and the theoretical is 40 J, what is your percent efficiency?**
- **Response:** 25%
- (Percent Efficiency = (Actual MA / Ideal MA) × 100 = (10 J / 40 J) × 100 = 25%)
7. **Oiling bicycle chains or chainsaws is efficient at making the machines work better because the oil reduces _________________________.**
- **Response:** Friction
