A 1-kg ball is released from a height of 6 m, and a 2-kg ball is released from a height of 3 m. Air resistance is negligible as they fall. Which of the following statements about these balls are correct? (There could be more than one correct choice
) A) As they reach the ground, the 1-kg ball will have more kinetic energy than the 2-kg ball because it was dropped from a greater height.
B) As they reach the ground, the 1-kg ball will be moving faster than the 2-kg ball.
C) Both balls will reach the ground with the same speed.
D) Both balls will reach the ground with the same kinetic energy.
E) Both balls will take the same time to reach the ground.
B, D

A locomotive is pulling 9 freight cars, each of which is loaded with the same weight. The mass of each loaded car is 37000kg and we can neglect friction on these 9 cars. If the train is accelerating forward at 0
81m/s2 on a level track, what is the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars? (The car nearest the locomotive is counted as the first car.)
