Question 104784 • [HSPHY] Physics Sem 1 (26-27)

In all trials, the magnitude of the final velocity for G1 + G2 was less than the magnitude of any initial velocity. As mass increased, what happened to the velocity?

Answer
A
The velocity decreased.
B
The velocity increased.
C
The velocity of G1 + G2 could not be measured.
D
The velocity was not affected by the mass increase.

Explanation

The final velocity of G1 + G2 was smaller in magnitude than either initial velocity in every trial. This indicates that as the combined mass increased, its velocity decreased. The correct choice is “The velocity decreased.”
