Students in a physics class were given several objects and asked to explore the nature of objects falling. The students drop each object from a height of 1.5 m. They use a timer to determine how long it takes each object to hit the ground. One of the students forgets to record the data for the time it took the samples of paper to fall. Their results are presented in the table as shown.
Object

Which answer is MOST LIKELY to approximate the results the students observed in their experiment?
Answer
A
The balled up and flat sheets of paper both fell faster than the physics book because they have less mass.

*Learning material says that the answer is T1 = 373.17 N and T2 = 701.33 N, but it didn't show a solution. Kindly show how the problem is solved.
A test car is driving toward a solid crash-test barrier with a speed of 45 mi/h. Two seconds prior to impact, the car begins to brake, but it is still moving when it hits the wall. After the collision with the wall, the car crumples somewhat and comes to a complete stop. In order to estimate the average force exerted by the wall on the car, what information would you need to collect?
a. The (negative) acceleration of the car before it hits the wall and the distance the car travels while braking.
b. The (negative) acceleration of the car before it hits the wall and the velocity of the car just before impact.
c. The velocity of the car just before impact and the duration of the collision with the wall.
d. The duration of the collision with the wall and the distance the car travels while braking.

In particular, Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and after working up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some object. In this way, he got a gut feel for the physical properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions.* On one occasion, the Skate, with a mass of 123 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against a 833 kg stationary statue of Isaac Newton in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a result, Isaac started moving at 1.71 m/s and Nate bounced backward. What were Nate's speeds immediately before and after the collision? (Enter positive numbers).
