Answer #1

here we can see that vertical displacement is same in both case and there initial speed is also same so they will tale same time to reach ground as shown in above calcultion

If you drop two rolls of toilet paper, while holding onto the end of one roll (meaning, one unrolls as it falls, the other drops straight down), they will land at the same time if the initial heights have a specific ratio. Each roll has an inner diameter of 3.5cm and an outer diameter of 11cm. 1. For the roll that you hold onto the end of (the one that unrolls), how fast would it hit the ground if you...
