Falling Faster Imagine that you are standing on the observation deck of the Empire
State Building. You drop a hammer and a feather at the same time
over the edge of the building.
1. Will the hammer or the feather reach the ground first? Explain.
per anstre here
2. Why do the hammer and the feather fall to the ground?

Two masses are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley as shown below. the pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius 푅=0.381meters and mass 푀=3.1푘푔. initially 푚"is on the ground and 푚#rests 2.5 meters above the ground. if the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of 푚#just before it strikes the ground. assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.
